It is a 59L block - heavily ported, full-relief - just put in 1.75" intake seats and steel main caps from the front and center mains. Had it bored to 3.347 (85 mm) - this gives me a whole host of metric ring combinations to use. I'll have Ross make some custom pistons.

Going to create either an injected or blown flatty . . . just for fun! LOL
