Blown alcohol small block?

YR, do you see any measurable difference in the strength of magnum vs LA blocks?


Nope. If there was, Chrylser would have offered it over the counter like they did with the T/A block.

The T/A block is the weakest of the series of race blocks...T/A...X and then R blocks in that order.

I've honed probably...I can't even guess but hundreds of magnum bores and they hone no differently than any other production block. Even the T/A isn't much harder. The X block...you know you are working with a pretty good piece of cast iron. We will see if the R block I have is even harder than that when I get going on it.
