Weston Machine Shop
Just got back from Weston Machine Shop a little while ago, and below are some pictures as promised...
First, here's a picture of the Darton Liners that I was telling you all about. They are really beefy, and doesn't require much removeable of material on the stock block - this is the way to go for hp level between 400-550hp.

no problem... I'll have some pictures of them boring the cylinders while utilizing a torque plate, and hopefully some of them balancing the crank by weeks end.

Great shots, looking forward to the ones of the heads.
Does Darton recommend the HP level for the liners at 400-550rwhp?
