Does big block 046 require case alteration?

[Mastermind]

Ignored.

It will, and I hope you’ll take it for a rip.

I would love to, looking forward to it.

I also have a couple I would like you to try. Since your 660 ran so strong last year, I'd like you impression of the 066 I did, and my Asian 440 BB, not piped, but not bad for a "standard" saw!

That piped saw looks like fun!

They’ll go with a little persuasion.

But to answer your question. Yes. Had to mill out the case.
So mock-up, tear down, split case, mill out case for 54mm piston to clear and reassemble case.
Will it be worth it? Maybe. We’ll find out.

That was the saw I built for DDave few years ago. Hard tellin what’s on there now.
IIRC, I shipped it with an HD-17??
