Cool! But what is it? Deep skirt block I thought B/RB Mopar (or alum aftermarket equivalent?) .. but no front mount distrib setup?

As related issue, saw a guy last weekend with a lawn mower (mockup) with an injected V12 Jag engine ...

Better replace the timing set with a double row, or it will come appart.

That is pretty awesome. Great, when Matt see's that he is going to want one, especially that we are buying a house this week.

Is there some sort of paint I could use to give my block and pistons that polished look? Obviously mine is all cast iron gear so I can't just polish it to that finish.

...and if you use a clevo block the furniture won't be changed around when you get home from work cause she can't move it.

Looks like an LS1 to me.......

Funny how I have a spare 351 windsor block here, and its just found a new home.
I am so going to make one of them....

Ford blue, might chrome plate the block, it going to look a million dollars.....

Blue glass top, FORD oval etched into it.....I am excited

That auotomate art website has so many items. Some would be useless but they have scale models and heaps of good stuff. I so want that V8 block table.
