That's Bill Millers shop. I would probably jump on that deal. Keep in mind that needs a custom made crank.

One of the big advantages to this block over other aftermarkets is the extra head bolt. For an FI application, that could be a real gasket saver. But, of course, you need the world products heads to match.

exactly on the crankshaft that's why they are so cheap also. I was reading some where that they made a mistake is how these blocks came about and after they are gone there will be no more.
to the OP I would not buy one just for the crankshaft reason and if you do price the crank first. also what real gain are you gone to have with a 3.5 stroke over the 3.4 the ring package area on the 347s is already tight and now you are gone to move up the stroke even more I don't think I would. also most of the 3.5 stroke piston in the 8.2 deck block I have seen only have one compression ring due to lack of room. I really would steer clear of that block one of there others sure just not that one that takes the Cleavland size mains now if it was a 8.7 deck or a 9.5 deck sure.

I think it is a good deal. It looks like it could be bored several more times like mentioned.

You have to buy a crankshaft anyway so, why not get it.
