CHESTNUTXE 7,307 Posted March 24, 2020 is it alloy ?I spoke to olm8 yesterday about building the most spastic clevo that has ever been built and we were talking about a fontana block from usa or track boss alloy as this type of build is more along his line of work with alloy sprint car engines,but is this a iron or alloy block ?

bear351c 10,270 Posted March 24, 2020 I think Pavtek used an Arrow block. (Cast Iron) but improved. http://www.arrowengineparts.com.au/arrow-engine-blocks.html 1 CHESTNUTXE reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gerg 10,871 Posted March 24, 2020 Arrow is an Aussie design cast in China, not sure if machined there or over here. Available in 4.0 or 4.125 bores, siamesed, very beefy around the mains, probably comparable to a Dart 9.2 Windsor, possibly cheaper with the dollar how it is at the moment.They had early issues with some inclusions and air pockets (in non-critical areas) but the best thing about them is they can be punched out to some serious cubics.Arrow... More deadly than a "Dart" (geddit?)Sent from my CPH1903 using Tapatalk 3 CHESTNUTXE, Free.51 and bear351c reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CHESTNUTXE 7,307 Posted March 24, 2020 wait until our dollar goes back up action man wants a alloy clevo,or supercharge the 400 with a full kit from usa with a set of alloy heads ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
