Summit Racing -World Products 5.4 Aluminum Block

$4695.95 - Wow thats expensive!

 

Yeah, I saw that in the new catalog

 

Not really, that's an average price for an aftermarket aluminum block.

Definitely is interesting though. I just got a new WP catalog and don't recall seeing that in there.

 

Wonder how much weight would be trimmed over the stock iron block?

 

Sorry for the hijack!!

Sal I have been emailing you for the past few weeks but have not received a response. Is there a better way to get a hold of you?

Thanks, Jason

 

Give us a call and leave a message and Lisa will call you back towards the end of the day. I am usually always backed up on e-mails, especcially the past few weeks, because we've had a huge rush of nonstop shop work.

 

OK I will leave a detailed message of what I need in case Lisa has to ask you since what I have to ask may not be a usual question.

EDIT: Thanks for the rely on the email Sal. I sent a reply and also gave Lisa a call. When I hear back from her I will put the order through. Thanks!

This is the end of the post hijack! Sorry!!!! :o

Thanks, Jason

Expect to save roughly 100lbs compared to stock. Awful expensive for an approx. .1 sec ET advantage.

remember its not just weight savings,but it can handle alot more power,and the bore is like 3.75..what a pretty site.... JL

 

Theres more to it than just weight. The bigger bore adds a lot of breathing room to the cylinder heads and the bores are a lot stiffer. The bores in a stock iron block start to move around a lot as the power goes up.

On a side note...I just got the Darton MID sleeves in the mail yesturday and the thrust faces are around .300 thick and the sleeves are made from a much better material. Cant wait to get this thing to the machine shop.

Also you could stare at this for a little while. http://www.karkraft.com/bare_blocks.htm

This block has to be sleeved to get the larger bore and with the other machine work involved could equal or exceed the price of the WP block.
