I am now finally going to order a new block so my choices are limited to world and the mopar block because they have wedge mounts. Has anyone here run the alum block on the street and were you able to get one with the lifter wholes already drilled.
Thanks
yes! be aware they may have chinese studs in them with ARP nuts! big thread on that before do a search. change them over to ARP studs.
(world block)
X2 change them and hone the litfers holes

As I stated in that other thread, you cannot just replace them!!!!!!
The crank bores must be re-alinged honed at a minimum after re-torquing to the correct spec if you indeed find this issue. If they don't clean up, its junk.

Mine is bad to the bone. It made 1034HP with B1 heads, went 7.33 on the brakes at Las vegas in 4100ft, lasted 230 passes before I decided to rebuild it, and was one of the first ones made, it had ARP studs.

I got my aluminum last fall 2010 and it had Chinese main studs. two friends got iron and both cam with Chinese main studs. And they look Chinese. I got ARP main studs from Summit but Bill Mitchel had stud upgrade kits at the time?? My buddy with the iron world block phoned ARP about his main bolts in July 2011 and ARP said we don't know what's up with world they just sent us boxes and boxes of just studs back for credit???
