came across this pattern block which might have been used for some sand cast moulds?

Could be interesting if you fancy an alloy block, would have to sleeve it and put other steel structure in though ?

Although I guess there aren't as many sevicable blocks out there as there used to be...

Looks like the 1275 saloon casting I used to have

Would be a sh*t load of machining after cast though ?

BTW - I took my buddy VTEC Pete out for a spin this weekend, and even though I am running her in, he gave it a name, the "Brocket"...cause I'm a brocket maaannn, nah nah nah nah nah nah nah nah nah nah nah....

I like it, just to go against the grain
