I have an unused, never touched aluminum wedge mega block from BMP. Got it right before Covid struck. Had a dream of building something someday, but doc says I should probably focus on short-term plans. This is the 4.490" rough bore, per BMP it can be safely bored to 4.560. Cross-bolted...

Thanks for the info 69Bee. Working on the engine is a great stress-reliever right at the moment.

Looks great! No matter what type you build, it takes an amazing amount of patience and attention to detail. Really good job, Xp.

I designed and built this one in my basement shop, from scratch. I hadn't completed the fretwork and bridge carving in this photo. Took WAAAAY too long and I lost several crucial hairs on my head. One every 4-5 years is about all I can muster.
