Has anyone seen this? A guy out of Brazil is making them I think. I don't know anything about it but looks intriguing.

Alrighty.
I'm not sure they ever went into production but looks like they had a couple running in the 1500hp range. They were projecting a 1500 dollar price tag. Not to bad when ya consider the price of an aftermarket block if ya can get one and all the work involved in making one work. Pretty cool

Tryin' to figure out how an oil pan is going to seal on that, especially around the timing cover...
I don't know the particulars but looks like a custom pan and an extra piece added under the timing cover.

Ah. That makes more sense now.
Oh sure ****, just like a Honda v-tec ... sorry I have to machine junk too lol
A girdle and block skirt.
The idea is nothing new, they were making and using them in small block Chevy’s for top fuel racing in the 60’s.
Looks like 6 hours of machine time minus the automotive machining and cost of materials for a one-off to me.
