I have heard they are. I'm having a bear of a time trying to get the crank out, I've got 4 pistons off the crank and 3 mains but one main is stuck and the crank still wont turn to get to the other rod caps.....
I called my machinist and he got pretty excited when I spoke of the engine. He's usually a pretty serious guy and only talks when he needs to, but he was like "I havent seen one of them in 15 years"! lol
I'm going to bring him the block and crank next week.
