Reply to "New Heavy Duty 351C Block, by Tod Buttermore"

Hi Tarik,

The blocks are not available for immediate sale at this time, but we are hoping the project will gain momentum this year. Tod has had problems with some of his early castings, and has had to make adjustments to how his cores are assembled, and how the castings are poured. Its a learning process. But it seems he has those problems behind him now. Tod continues having difficulty getting his cores manufactured, and getting his blocks cast.

The first blocks shall be delivered to those who supported this project by paying in advance. Tod is also hoping for feedback from those who receive the earliest blocks to determine what if any problems there may be in his design. At least two motors have been assembled using Tod's blocks, one with a cast iron block and one with an aluminum block. Testing of both the cast iron and aluminum motors has not revealed any weaknesses in the design so far.

I am waiting for production to begin in earnest myself, but that time is not here yet. Hopefully later this year.
