Hey guys,...looking for a B block as the one I'm currently working on is going to need some SERIOUS work to get

up and running. I'm looking to build a pre-WWII hot rod as per history has recorded,...accurate and period correct

as I can be! THanks guys,...much appreciated!!! <img src="http://forums.aaca.org/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

B blocks are alot thinner in the critical areas.... valve area etc...

If you're looking to modify why not stick with an A block or even better an A diamond block(industrial) has more reinforcements than the normal A & B block.

Well, from research, talking with builders who build race motors (4 banger race motors) there are many reasons...

Yes the top end was weaker but they were stronger on the bottom end, had more horsepower, bigger throws, mains, etc.

The only A block I would consider would be (as you said) a "Diamond A" block,....other than that, I'd stick with a B.

Of course, now I'm wondering,....do you have a diamond A block availible?? lol <img src="http://forums.aaca.org/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />
