Finally.....................I have decided that my block is one of the "linerless" versions cast by Reynolds RMC = Reynolds Masena Casting?). These were the "high silicon content" blocks that were designed to be run with no sleeves / liners. However, someone in the past (perhaps Smokey Yunick...

Hi Dave, Yes, I have a set of BB alum closed chamber heads (casting #3919842) that were built by TRACO in Culver City, CA, that I plan to use on the engine with Ross flat top pistons. This combo should yield a 9.5 : 1 compression ratio. If I get really serious about it, I nave an NOS set of...

Hi Dave and thank much for the information. Unfortunatley I don't have the prorotype heads. Still looking for a set. Here are a couple of vids showing the McLaren M8F's that used the Reynolds aluminum big block engines. Pretty neat cars. YouTube - McLaren M8F Can Am Goodwood Festival of...

Mornin' Dave and thanks for your reply. It appears that the casting number IN the lifter galley is missing the first "2" of the cast number 03 1270 (should be 0321270). This number also appears on the back of the block, just above the bellhousing mounting area, on the passenger...

Hello Dave, Long time since we last corresponded. Hope this note finds all well with you. Just curious if you have learned any additional information regarding these old aluminum dinosaurs? Take care...............look forward to hearing from you again. Regards, Rex

Dave, Small world indeed. I retired from Sherwin Williams Automotive Finishes Corp. (Richmond, KY mfg plant) after 30 years, most of which were in the QC / Tech Service arena. I am familiar with the systems you named. I just today received some GM drawings of the ZL-1 Can Am oiling...

Thanks Dave. You obviously worked for GM at some time. You have already been a wealth of info and I appreciate it so much. Please let me know if you learn anything else about it. I would post some pics of the block, but don't know how. I can send them to your email address if you like. Many...

Hi Dave and thanks for your reply. The block does NOT have a Winters foundry mark on it. There are some numbers / letters stamped as follows: RMC M2 {stamped on the left rear of the block just above bellhousing T7 2454 {stamped into front on pass side to...
