what's special about the DC block vs. a stock block?

[Mario]

Not sure if I overlooked the thread or not but how much for the two step?

The Direct Connection block was an early race block, still has the fuel pump mount on the front, takes the early cranks, but is mega stout. Tons of wall thickness. They used to run up to a 3.55" bore on them.

They also have beefy main webbing, as well as beefy caps stock. As told to me their purpose was to be able to endure the stresses of the IMSA series, as well as for the roundy-round racers.

Mario- I'm trying to keep it as a package for someone since it's such a unique piece. Did you see the crank trigger on it too?

Bump.

It's simple, a one off 8V head based off an entirely different casting, with wicked ports, a 3.55" bore in a DC block, and lots of compression.

And most of us are worried about going to 3.485"
Wish we had blocks that thick now!

I know where a few are kicking around still, but they're off limits even to me!

3.5" is enough to run HellFire rings!!!

Get yourself an old issue of the Hot Rod 2.2 tech magazine from '86. They show a furnace brazed block that had the bores opened up substantially more!

Is this a monthly magazine issue? Or one of the special editions? I think I need that one...

[ShelGame]

Wait, is it this one?

[Reeves]

Wow! I've never seen that one! I'd love to find it!
