Reply to "Ford Racing Aluminum Cleveland Block"

The block in the picture is a 351W block, or a 351 SVO block. Its not a Cleveland block, the spec for a 9.4" deck is a total mystery to me, perhaps a typo error. The Cleveland is 9.2", the Windsor is 9.5".

Referring to the block's picture, observe:
(1) the lack of a timing chain cavity
(2) the lack of an "in-block" thermostat
(3) the shape of the rear tappet valley cover seal

As Mark (ehpantera) has stated, Tim Meyer has taken over the Buttermore block project. By the way, he has renamed the Buttermore block as the "Track Boss Block". The Cleveland is definitely a niche market in this day, and has been for a long time. Tim has invested big dollars in a machining center for the 351C block, in other words he invested a huge sum of money in a niche market.

Tim is going forward at full steam with the "Track Boss Block" project, he has invested heavily in the project, and I expect to see blocks produced in 2016! Seeing this block into production has been a long gruesome process for me. Thanks to Tim there's light at the end of the tunnel. This makes him a hero in my eyes. I hope folks who are owners of 351C powered cars will support Tim in anyway they can.
