What ever happened to the small block aluminum block luizzo brothers was going to manufacter?
Rick was long on talk and short on truth in my dealings with him. "if" he was making them and was giving them away with free rotating assemblies , I'd still be very cautious.

There was talk about an aluminum XR block. In the post I found, Rick never acutally "said" there would be one and never corrected anybody for expecting one. I'm for certain he said there might be an aluminum version but, you can only search back, so far now. XR2 Block ***Preview Pics***Extra Pics now added There were also solid aluminum SB Mopar blocks. I don't know how many were made or who made them but, a friend of mine, got them from Fowler Engines in Columbus, OH. Kent Ritter bought them(2) for a guy building a Jr. Fueler.

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.

They are but, it seems they make them as they are ordered. We have been waiting for one since March.
Thanks...
