Here are some new pics of the new 700cid engine I'am building.....BB1 Jeezuz...the number of machining steps to create that masterpiece of a block must be up there...
More important, the attention to its finish and detail is awe inspiring...

2 words...BLING-BLING eek!

Damn,,,that thing screams MONEY! Is that a CNC machined one piece block? Splayed caps. One thing thats got me is the cam bearings. What are the pros and cons of using them. Obviously they handle greater stresses than conventional bearings. Can they be used for "light" applications? Where do you get them. Those bearings have to have less where at startup. I would imagine less friction as well. It seems to me that for everyday use they would wear out quicker because the cam journals are always touching needle bearing surfaces. Whereas in conventional bearings the cam journals ride on oil. I would imagine this setup is mandatory in high rev motors where ZERO cam movement is crucial.

Mopar has been putting those cam brgs in their race blocks for years.
Very nice, is it billet?
