The TA alum block Duttweiler dyno'ed last fall at 1180 HP is in a twin turbo car running around LA. His best time so far has been 9.60. It is a "street legal" car!

Anyone having overheating or oil pressure problems with the block?

As per Margie Duttweiler, Gene Bruno's Car has TA Heads and they have never had a problem. His TA Block is fine as well!

The one that was for sale was USED ! HMMMM?

I thought they were selling it because the person that was going to buy it went with a different setup, i could be wrong of course.

Well so far I see from this post that there is ONE running, how many were sold? I guess with the fact there are no more NOS 109 blocks that by now a few of these would be turning up in 11 or 12 sec street cars. Maybe the build cost is too high to compete with a 109 rebuild.
