Featuring a 9.240-inch standard deck height, 4.000-inch semi-finished bore, SIAM (siamesed) cylinder bores, and OEM-style steel billet 6-bolt main caps, this premium cast iron block delivers the strength and rigidity required for naturally aspirated, turbocharged, supercharged, and nitrous-assisted applications.
