I remember a thread about the eddy victor SB head and they said "june" then someone else said they would be revealing another new head all together by the end of that week, still have not heard from either again I say, give us an aluminum W2, Indy is too much money with too low quality, heck pro-comp has less complaints maybe they should do the aluminum W2. A w2 makes plenty of power for the average guy, a little home porting and you can do 600 HP with out fragile max ported stock junk.

I have been keeping mumm about this for a while because every one says all 360 blocks are basically the same but the 5.9 magnum block can handle significantly more power than a 340 block or 92 back 360. A couple things to think about and look at, the pan rail around 2 and 4 mains has a lot more meat, kind of like a TA, and I don't see way better sonic numbers but I bet you would have a lot harder time busting a cylinder wall, try grinding some notches to clearance one for a stroker crank, then try it in the old LA block and see which one is tougher to grind on Not to mention the outer wall is thicker with the extra mount bosses, expecially the 2002-2003 blocks got to help with flexing. Oh and you get a roller cam included with every core, this is the one we need an aluminum W2 for. Go take a look with the two blocks sitting next to each other

Doing more with less impresses me most.
Competing to me means having a chance.
Impressing me is a 20 or 30.000 motor being faster then a 50.000 motor.

This is why I like the G3. And trust me I just built a R3 W9 engine but if I damage the thing there is no replacement. I have two 5.7 blocks in the garage and 4 sets of G3 heads including the Eagle and Apache. Ritter intake.
My W9 TD rockers were 1700.
The W9 were not cheap.
In the end I think it will be a wash for price which ever road you take and I THINK you can make more with the G3 for less.
