    Need to drop 100 or more lbs off the front of my 10.5 car.. Who makes the best block..
    Considering a Hemi as well, just not sure if it will be light enough... Any thoughts?

    Billet BBC block

    No doubt: www.cnblocks.com We've had our crossbolted CN block for two seasons by now, and everything is just perfect. No bore distortion, constant 2-3% cylinder leakdown radings, no bearing issues. Just the best I ever saw. The only problem is the cost ! We paid $ 9210,-

    The new century is what I am leaning toward, since the CN is out of budget so far... Alot depends on the winter and how business does..

    I need to know how much difference is between my iron block solid head BBC and a Brad HEMI... Hat to pan, I most want to do the hemi, but the Big chief style aluminum block may be the better option, since I currently can not use the power I have...lol.

    Check ebaymotors and racingjunk. There is one new second hand CN block and at least one solid Donovan HC700 block right now........
