Here's a few pics of the block. Really a nice piece, very nice engineering and machining.

Who manufactured the block? Obviously a 427 right?
Are those Diamond pistons in that box, it looks familiar?
Nice - love aluminum and big blocks.
Keep the pics coming.

That is the new GM ZL-1 block. Yes, those are Diamond Pistons, custom made because Mr. Ross wanted to keep it a standard bore. ;)

pistons
 

Jody, what ya think of the pistons?

Have you called Mike yet and ordered your stuff?!!!!!!!

Jody

Why, because they're in your Arias 540?!!!!! ;) They make a very nice piston Stuart, definitely in the upper end of quality in my opinion.

Yep all done and a check sent.He said the crank will take awhile because of the holidays and PRI.So Im looking at february or so.

Thats not an inside joke :eek:
