You shied away?
If you¹re going to be a bear, be a grizzly.
Or my favorite: If you¹re going to sh!t your pants, fill Œem full.

It is an SVO block, but it is cast iron.
OK, I may have been too liberal with the 'old' bit...
:-)
Nevertheless, it's an all iron engine. CVAR legal.
My new engine will have a very similar block, 4V iron heads with port
plates, T&D rockers and a bunch of other $$$$ stuff.
I shied away from his 14:1 compression ratio though....
