A properly machined block? New or original? He is modifying a Pond aluminum block right now for a cammer build, that is easily another 7 grand. Have you ever priced an original set of magnesium cammer valve covers?
I seen some valve covers along with some other cammer parts. The valve covers had $1500 on them...on each one of them, and they werent sitting side by side. Are they $1500 for both, or each? I dunno but was afraid to ask. This was at an all Ford swap meet here in Columbus last Saturday.
