when the cylinders are being machined is crazy

How much stronger is that over forged aluminum block?

[legendboy]

this video is only for showing the versatility of the machining center. this is not a functional engine block.

that said, i'm not sure anybody could afford a billet engine block like this, i bet it would cost 25k+

it doesn't look like it but i think that was a weeks worth of machine/setup time condensed into that video

Yea I thought the same thing. Could they possibly be drilled in later?

[Go4Long]

I can't see how...most of them are not in a straight line :p

[elesdee]

Exactly, but I thought there might be some way. Even if there is, it's probably so expensive that in the end this block would be waaay overpriced for what it's supposed to do.
