Nelson Racing Engines DOHC, billet engine...

Just "discovered" this today. Vid is 5 years old, so I guess it's certainly not new...but man, that block shares a lot of features w/the LT5, IMO.

he did that block for a customer who was having him do a twin turbo build .because the crank was eating up bearings under high boost with the stk block . block I believe cost 25-30 alone .......

I saw about 3 or 4 years ago in Youtube even a video how they did CNC the block. Unfortunately I forgot the title of the video.

Didn't he also mod the LT5 block to run a larger main bearing, oldschool Hemi mains I believe.

There were never any follow up videos about putting the heads on etc. I found that a bit odd being Nelson was so proud of the block when this video was recorded.
