[AMC-List] 401X Race Block: "If she were MY daughter..."

["Brien Tourville" <hh7x@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

For some reason,after reading Nicks'
post, I began hearing: 'The New Bitch' by ....: marilyn manson  ?... 
........?  use your FREE Shareaza .pgm to download the music video
if you're wondering ......


This is the 'X' block - that 'doesn't exist' -  no one has
actually seen one - and lived to remembered where they'd
even saw it, ever -



"Holy Grail" - "Block - 0h - Goal" - "No 'f'***in Way" - 
the whisperings 'X' block lore breatheren ...@ .050" lift -



If it IS the real deal - > :

like Unicorns and Mermaids, 
it's Fate is now terribly sealed:
remember what happened to 'Charley the Tuna' ?



It would make a Fantastic Magazine Article - as this is
THE center of AMC engine 'Lore' - at very least, it should
be Digitally Documented and Ultra-Sonic 'd Documented before ........ 
well, ........ you know..... 



Once word gets out, the 'Buzz' in the Forums - like the
'BULLTEAR' site,[soo-wee what an Image that conjurs
Martha!]

 it may eventually be sold to the highest bidder - 
with the least credentials -


he'll send it out to be *BUILT* - ......for his 
weekend rock crawler - "with 'The Biggest' pistons
ya' ever zeen"...erRRP@!! "yEAhBaBY...... tHAts'
tHe BeAST@!">,,,"we machined the PISS outa' er!...."


kinda' like Caesar in old'n days,
where he got to knock boots with the Brides before ..... well,
you know ..... .


Once it hits the machinist - it's just another 401 - right
now ?  it is THE ULTIMATE Turbo cylinder block - with
the 3.750 cylinder walls AND Thick main webbing, but
that will be overlooked by the less technical.

It'll serve as a weekend mudder 'Trophy' motor - until it loses oil 
pressure and 
'windows' the block  - , 

see duty as a 'Shop Lamp'  , being wired  up & placed on
a stand by the Kelvinator beer keep - where actually, it should
Begin a notable Retirement unfettered  right now -
but life is cruel - especially when 'Bragging Rites' are involved.

In a perfect world, it should be displayed in a glass case in an
AMC Racing Museum! - but that will never happen.

Maybe Larry Daum would buy it & keep it pristine next to that
Aluminum AMC Indy V8 motor - keeper of the Flame !



OK > one chance  to hear from each of you on what YOU would do with 
the:
'Mythical 401x Race Only Cylinder Block' - should YOU ever posess it
in its' current 'unmolested' condition !

Anyone have any information on a 401 block with an X
above the displacement casting and only a 3.750 bore. 
There is also 401 cast into the intake valley.  It has
very large water jackets and splayed main caps.  It
might have been an endurance engine for one of the
racing sanctions with a long stroke and small bore.
