Back on topic, I would suppose these blocks are hot honed?

I ask because particularly in the diesel world, every guy is setting up different and it would be hard to hot hone, not knowing what temps you will be staging at, launching at and trapping at. Especially considering what effect the aluminum block will have on the thermal distortion vs a stock block

with the different ring packages it would be counterproductive. I use a 1/16 tool steel top 1/16 Napier second ring and a 3/16 oil ring.
Hot honing is not really needed it’s a good deal, but in a diesel it's a percentage gain.
 
That block is just what the CR guys need. Now only if they made an aluminum head to drop even more weight off these heavy motors.
 
the better the block , the more stable the mains the stronger the crank . the advantage to these blocks is weight . I would want a oil cooler deleat, 65 mm cam. get rid of the skirted block, and reduced deck height.

honing is an additional $600.00. Cam bearings are not included in the price.

Wow that has me almost as excited as I was the first time I found my Dads porn stash...... Way out of my budget but damn!
 
at 220 lbs is about 80 lbs lighter, still looks like some one was trying to close the look of a stock block for no reason. make the block stronger, shorter, and fix the problems . move the lifters to allow the ports to be wider ,
 
with the bore centers of a cummins 4.500 bore would be easy , with a 4.00 stroke it would make a killer 2.6 bullet
 
has anybody else noticed that the aluminum block looks like its been welded on between the oil cooler and the lower radiator hose outlet?
