How can i make 700 horse from a 410 stroker
I have never EVER seen an aftermarket block of any brand for any brand that didn’t require a TON of work to get in shape.
So I’m calling bullshit on the Ritter taking more work than any other block.
Since you quoted me, can I assume this is directed at me?
On the cost of blocks, MP or Ritter, IDK what the overall deal is.
Perhaps my wording wasn’t good. I don’t see a difference between blocks from what they could need when they’re OOTB fresh. If one costs more than the other, then that’s the way it is. If one company cost more than the other, than that’s the way it is.
I don’t know or care who is more expensive.
So that excuse is just that. An excuse. Any engine that requires an aftermarket block will be expensive.
For the record, I did not and am not making any excuse on or for anything.
While I appreciate what your saying I have to say regarding race blocks that's a load of crapola lol.
Wait, your saying the price of race blocks are cheap?
I just wanna be clear this is where you stand.
If you are complaining about a race block being expensive and then having to machine it then you don't need it.
Read above my disclaimer on the price of race blocks and know this, if I need one then the cost is what it is. If my wallet is thick enough then it’ll be purchased.
Last time I checked a ritter block was around $4500 shipped and add about $1,500 to 2k in machine work unless
@Brian Hafliger has something to add to that. Cheap investment for someone who want's a block to live reliably. My car is 3,500 lb. pig (race weight) street car with a stick that is legal to go 8.50 and that's the plan at some point so for me a race block is an overall cheap investment (and a requirement) to eventually achieve my goals.
I agree with this being cheap for a serious build and as you stated, longevity.
Why you think I think otherwise is beyond me. I nearly stated most people won’t spend that kind of money on a block. That’s just the fact. Proven by the amount of sales and the sea of MP/Ritter blocks you see everyday on the street.
$4500 + $2000 just block for a cruiser or street/strip HP mill?
Hey! If that’s OK by you, then go for it. I’ll settle on a 5.9 and use it accordingly thanks.
If I was building the engine the OP wanted, it would be a race block no doubt!
Saying what you said takes what I said out of context and you F’in know it. It’s F’in retarded to even state what you did it’s ridiculous. Don’t be a dickhead and show yourself as another short attention span reader trying throw trump cards on what you mis read or didn’t read. You will make yourself look like an dumbfuck asshole.
