NEW MOTOWN PRO LIGHTWEIGHT SBC BLOCK FROM
WORLD PRODUCTS
World Products has introduced a
new light-weight cast iron small
block for racing and performance
applications. Weighing in at a nominal 178 lbs, the Motown Pro LightWeight is cast from a special 40,000
psi iron alloy for increased strength
while weighing significantly less
than typical aftermarket blocks.
The new block is available with
either a standard SBC cam journal
and lifters, or with a BBC cam journal and .904” lifter bores to provide
enhanced valve train stability and
performance. The priority main oiling system has been revised to accommodate the .904” lifter upgrade
without the added cost of bronze
lifter bushings. Oil passages have
been enlarged and provision for oil
restrictors is built into the valley,
further enhancing the high rpm
potential by providing improved
oil supply and control. Ductile iron
main caps are fitted with 4-bolt
splayed caps on #2, 3 & 4 and 2-bolt
caps for #1 & 5 which allow easy oil
pan fitment. The main caps are secured by high strength 7/16” ARP
bolts for maximum stability.
Clearance for a 4.000” stroke
crankshaft is machined in, and connecting rods which offer clearance
for the BBC cam option with the
4.000” stroke are available. The siamese cylinder bores come in either
3.995” or 4.120”, (to finish at 4.000”
or 4.125”) with a maximum bore of
4.185” to allow for big cubic inch
displacement.
