Title: Rebuilding the cross flow hemi
Post by: Runningwild on Tuesday,July 18, 2017, 06:33:30 PM

Took the cross flow to Alpine America in Montreal today for a complete rebuild. Here are some nice pictures of another hemi nearing completion.

I don't think so. He strips the engine and bead blasts everything. They are alum blocks. I know they are hard to find. To me a long time to find one.

The wedge and crossflow blocks are the same.  The engine pictured above was built up on a wedge head block.
