True...I kind of didnt think about that. Well, I mean I did in a way, thinking that obviously aluminum has different properties than iron and thus design probably is effected. I kind of wanted to just see how much it would cost to have just the block cut. Not that I can afford it, I guess just out of curiousity.
More so...my brother found this interesting article on cnn.com about this company called Emachineshop.com that does such jobs for supposedly less than a regular machine shop. I dont know...just bored. No freakin work all week long
Regardless...this site might interest someof yall...because they can fabricate most anything...so maybe some of those hard to find parts could be drawn up and made for cheap. Heck, maybe as a community, since prices are in bulk, we could go in on stuff. Anyways...just thoughts.
