So I heard there will be a new player for la race blocks at some point down the road. Callies has the blueprints for the R3 block and is supposed to manufacture them once they are done with the wedge blocks.
I absolutely have no real "need" but a huge want for aluminum Ritter block with big bore diameter, capable head setup, and standard-ish (~3.25 - 3.50") stroke crank to rev the hell out of, sorta the old Trans Am racing combination. Completely unreasonable for a street driven car but I don't care. While I'm at it, I wonder how much a billet flat plane crank would cost?? And of course it would have a girdle, or at least suspenders.
