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.

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.
