There are certain things that need to be done because the block is aluminum. Expansion rates are completly different if done wrong it would be catistrofic $4000 dollars is a lot to play around with, just my opinion.

Nick was involved from the ground floor with the T/A Block, alot of knowledge about it. Dan from DLS has got a great rep, and some fast motors out there Ted.A motor. Bob From RPE built my 7 sec T/A block motor and also Built Dave Fiscus 7 sec T/A block motor.
