59* R3 Help

Rat Bastid said

There has NEVER been a race block for any brand that doesn’t require work. To think otherwise is foolish.

I don’t under why Chrysler guys think they should be able to buy a block and not touch it.

What size should the bore be when finished?

What should the hone be for the rings you are using?

What deck height do you need?

What size does the main line need to be?

Those are a few of the things that need to be addressed with any race block, regardless of who made the block.

4500 for an X block is a giant rip off.

For that money I’d buy a Ritter block and never look back.

You always read more into something than there is. Only a fool would assume that because they mentioned that a ritter block would need more machining that he also thinks the X block would need none. Where does that come from? I just read that the Ritters need extensive machinning to get ready.

I don't know what size they are able to go that is one of my questions but I'd like to go 4.1" I'd like a std deck engine and 9.56 seems close, did they offer them this way?

The mains are 340 and that's good for me.

I am set to buy a Ritter but this came up and I wanted to know info pretty fast. 2500 max value, I appreciate the info

Thanks for the help.
