Aluminum Ford Cleveland block ^^^^. Another shot.vvvv The Heads are the Motorsport B351 heads(from about 1985) but the block has 1968 casting numbers, Ford markings and definitely is a Cleveland.

Pictures from Jeff Burgy.

I believe he said he bought this from Rousch.

It was hurt and has a welding repair in the lifter gallery but it is all Ford.

Ford apparently GAVE these blocks away to the serious Pro Stock racers in '71-2-3, and guys like Gapp&Rousch and "Dyno" Don Nicholson used them for match races.

I don't have pictures of the aluminum heads but am told that they used the same molds as the iron heads did.

Hey. don't shoot me, I'm only the piano player. It pays to hang around like a fly on the wall sometimes. People forget you were there or better yet, never saw you there to begin with?

(Don't tell Jeff, but those are my heads and oil pan on his block? That's my porting on the exhausts.
