Can Am blocks
Has anyone ever heard of a company by the name of PS that made some aluminum big block Chevy blocks for Can Am race teams in the 70's? Company was later bought by Bullworks. Not sure of the spelling of these names or if it is even accurate.

I always thought the Can Am blocks were a joint venture of GM and Alcoa.

Thanks Charlie. I had not heard of any other producers of aluminum blocks either until recently and the person who told me was unsure of the names as well. Just thought I'd try a longshot.
BTW...................is that your car in the picture? It's a beauty. Any idea where I could find a set of those valve covers? I would like a set for my Can Am engine.
Thanks for your input.

No, but that is me in it. That's a carbon fiber Reynard 98E chassis. Sweet ride! 
I'll look into the valve covers, but don't hold your breath. Still have a Crower/McKay BB injector, btw.

The company was Butrick P&S Co. (Precision & Service Co.) in California, possibly back in the 90's. They cast up some aluminum big block Chevy blocks. Might have been in Anaheim? Not sure.
Anybody heard of them?

Anyone know anything about these guys? They were in Ohio rather than California.
