I used to talk to Bill on a regular basis before he passed. I know he did not like the aluminum blocks at all. Even the cylinder heads. Those blocks have a lot of porosity in them just not compact enough. On the dyno your looking at a 10-12% loss

New owner of Grumpy's Toy VIII Interested in your block
I recently purchased the remains of Grumpy's Toy VIII. I'd like the opportunity to discuss purchasing this block from you.

Is this the TOY that was for sale with just the bars and dash pretty much? IF SO, glad to see you taking this on and bringing it back to life.
Congrads and good luck, John

That's the one. Thank you for the kind words, it might be a bumpy road ahead but there is a plan in place to do some really nice tribute stuff with this ol girl.

That would be her Joe. On the bright side at least I'm seeing her at her worst.
