Ooooo pretty! I can only imagine the cost (edit: just checked it put and it is 8000 euro!). Hope you aren't a test subject.

I'm just curious, couldn't you just sleeve the block for the same outcome ?
Other than that it is a thing of beauty, hands down...

Billet block and head

I'm trying to build a super voloce . 700+ horsepower and 400 lbs lighter. since no one has ever seen or used a billet block and head , I'd figure I'll be the first.
thanks . ... Victor Nishimoto

Seems like a massive waste of money considering English Racing makes 1200whp on a sleeved OEM block, and a ported OEM head..

How many more 1/4 passes would this thing have to last then a stock block before you would consider it worth it?

Maybe so

It's true, I'm probably wasting my money. but I consider myself a doer and not a follower .
I always try and use the best of the best and I am lucky enough to afford it.
. let's see what this billet can do!

Honestly it's all a waste of money. I could have found a much better way to invest my money then buying an evo. That's not what's it's about tho it's about what makes you happy. I guarantee that this build is gonna bring you plenty of that!!!!
