Re: Lowering Blocks ?

Here are the ones I made. I was using .250 stainless but opted for mild steel to make fabrication easier @ home (gotta' weld the stainless @ work). The second pic is a close-up of the 'crush sleeve' just to make sure nothing collapses.....

Building a small, high rpm engine with the perfect bore, stroke and rod ratio is very impressive.
It's like a highly skilled Morrocan sword fighter with a Damascus Steel Scimitar.....

Cubic inches is like Indiana Jones with a cheap pistol.

Re: Lowering Blocks ?

Here's the final modified version. Sorry but it's kind of dark under the truck & there's not much light out by the time I get home . . ....

Re: Lowering Blocks ?

I know this is an old thread but I was looking at lowering blocks and liked the way Scoti cut the blocks at an angle to make a longer more stable base.

Lightened up the photo a bit, and reposting it for others to see more clearly.

Thanks! That Panhard bar bracket is double shear w/one leg going all the way through the block (welded top, sides, & bottom).
