As much as I'd like to be able to hire them, I'll never get this thing off the ground spending that kind of money. So, as crazy as it sounds, I'm gonna try to weld a block together. I spoke with a fella who has repaired an aluminum block or two and he said it was genius. We may see. lol
Fabricated blocks have been done quite a few times in tractor pulling. Do you have a CAD program?
