I have 3 of the first batch of new kent blocks, casting are good core shift not so good not really any better than the original blocks however they will all take 85mm with a straight bore and 86mm if you get creative.

Those cranks look good too.

I have the cranks made. I have 72.75mm, 77.62mm and 84mm available with H-beam rods to suit.

Did they ever put the 2L xflow into production as rumoured???

No and I don't think it was ever an option more of a myth.

With the stroker crank in the block in the picture you will get 1908cc with an 85mm bore.

I can however get cast iron and alloy 701M "L" repro blocks that are siamese bore and will go 1975cc with a crossflow stroke of 77.62mm

Have any new engines been assembled using new blocks? If so, figs. would be interesting.

To my knowledge only FF1600 which will only make FF1600 Hp.

Hi, I realise your post on the big blocks is a bit old, but are they still available?
