I'm interested! Do keep us in the loop!

Paul.

AES has done a few closed deck LT5s; Bob Gillig's 427, Al Dashto and Kevin Costello's 441s (cranks came from Bryant, IIRC). I don't know if that would interest you - save having to do some of that machining - or NOT (I dunno). But, the 4.000 nikasil liners are VERY interesting, especially if the machining to the block was minimal.

My pending build plan would be a sleeve and cam re-grind - NO offset grind on the crank seriously being considered at the moment. Being able to have 4" nikasil aluminum sleeves...would be ideal for what I would hope to be a very reliable upgrade.
