^^^Always wonder the advantages of the 60/65 roller option^^^ less deflection under load. With high spring pressures and boost taking its toll on the exhaust side that's where the larger cams shine.

Low deck is the hip deal in Pro stock etc because they get it--Bigger bore shorter stroke makes HP!! BUT..you have to turn it insane amount of RPM Well...Not insane for Them with the finest parts on the planet BUT for us--the ones on this site that mostly bracket race--High RPM builds are silly if you are doing them on an average racers budget and if you have a budget well..you call an engine shop tell them what you weigh, trans, etc and how fast you want to go then you go pay up and load up and you DO NOT design it yourself--Because you do not know what they know Just because you have scissors--don't make you a barber I absolutely understand stroke/bore and RPM and making horsepower, but we are talking about guys running stroker stuff. If I never see a stroke over 3.79 for a small block and 4.25 for a big block it wouldn't hurt my feelings.
Just because you think it won't make it true. Horsepower is KING. To dispute this is stupid. C. Alston

Apology for slow reply. I'm wearing a few hats at the moment. Lol.
Our Race block is a maximum performance engine block. We made design revisions to best set us up for the future, taking full advantage of new developments that add to the strength of engines built with our blocks.
There are other options available in the market for anyone seeking a lesser option or looking to recycle existing parts. The orders we have already received for use with a 60mm cam, have been overwhelming.
Alternatively, our Dealers can machine one of our 'Pro' blocks for 55mm core camshafts. Important to where we position our HEMI, WEDGE and upcoming engine block products is that we never want them to be 'the almost strongest' engine blocks.

Great work , that block looks like one stout piece.
Truth has no agenda, but those with an agenda make their own truth. Some of us are so open minded they only see their View

Did the earlier blocks have an oil feed in the side of the block right in the area below the head? Never mind this ? there's plenty of pic here on Best machine fb page.
