I see the main advantage as being the fact he can supply it with any deck height, Martin Hadlands engine proves thats a worthwhile way to go although I would imagine his conversion is still cheaper than the new block though.
Either way some fantastic stuff going on.
make me wonder how these super high power us v8's and even 4 - 6 cylinders dont seem to suffer the same issues that plagues big power cossies with gasket issue ?? what they using diffrent to us ???
i did mention to mark about the idea of raising the liner and machining the head to create sort of a cap over the cylinder , thus sealing the bore , sealing water and oilways could be done with a stock gasket ,
it was something he had thought about ,
i wouldnt be surprised if he doesnt have a head on the way shortly
