The Elliot block is not really that pricey. I priced one at $5,000. As far as alluminum blocks go that are ready machined that is not bad. I think 9.200" was as tall as you could get and I wanted taller.

Donnavan that makes the alluminum 392 hemi blocks should be able to make a solid alluminum block as it would be some minor changes. I talked to him at PRI about it. He said he could do it for an extra fee.

There would be an Elliot block in my garage now if I had the extra funds to buy it. I desperately want to run a power adder again. I would also like a taller deck for more stroke and rod ratio. Couple Pro mod turbos and we would see what happens.
