Default 427 Aluminum Blocks

DSC Motorsport will be getting our next consignment of Pond Motorsport Blocks in approximately 2-3 weeks. I have Aluminum Blocks available at this time. These blocks are state of the art and include STEEL BILLET Main Caps on ALL 5 positions, Screw in STEEL Freeze Plugs and ARP Main Studs/Crossbolts with Nuts and Washers. Block weight is 140 pounds with ALL of the above installed. Bore size is a nominal 4.240" as delivered. and can be safely increased to 4.31" without changing sleeves. The Blocks are priced at $4500.00 ea. A $500.00 good faith deposit is required with order, with balance to be paid on delivery(if picked up in Murrieta, CA)or on consignment to a trucking company(if shipped out of state). I can possibly deliver to Nevada or Arizona customers for $150.00. Anyone wanting an Aluminum Block soon, or an Iron Block(for late March delivery at $3500.00) please call 951-698-8868 or email. Clear, color pictures on the website at www.dscmotorsport.com

I have one of these blocks in my crate engine. Curiosity finally got to me and I pulled the pan to see the bottom end...definitely beefy.

Living near Dennis, I can only say that he has been great to work with. I would not hesitate to do business with him. And, as Joe said, those blocks sure are nice.

We built the Pond 482 that Hot Rod Joe has and the engine made real good power. With any of these new blocks the company goes through some teeth cuting issues. We pressure check all of the blocks and they will have to have the cam tunnels finished to size as well as the main journals. We have these blocks in stock as well just make sure that you get it finished machined or have someone that can do the finish machining. Have real nice work and a real strong steel cap. We also have the Genesis cast irons as well as Pond cast irons and the Shelby aluminum blocks as well. Good luck and who would have believed we would have this many FE blocks to choose from. 870-246-7460, Keith Craft
