Hey Terry,
Thanks for excellent detail, pictures/diagrams and report !
There is an aluminum engine (Donovan D) that used to be available from Mrs Donovan in very small quanity, i.e....only 30 ever produced...via Mrs. Donovan. This D engine was VERY expensive, compared to what you envision your creation costs !
The exciting part of interest , to me at least, is that YOUR engine oiling scheme mirrors the oil system of the D !! Very sophisticated oiling , compared to the original A and B blks ! This oil system of yours should enable your engine to last forever....given proper maintenance.
Thanks for not giving up on your/our dream of making such engine !
