higher nickel
By Barry B - 12/08/2005 2:53:39 AM; IP 71.128.1.106
I've heard of a lot of blocks with higher nickel content like those and the Mexican 302's, Aussie 351's, 289HP's, various 427's and 428's etc. Ford wasn't the only one, have heard of Olds, Chevys, even old Hudsons with higher nickel too. I can't prove any of this but I'd think a machinist would know after trying to bore one of these blocks. Alloying nickel does increase the hardness of cast iron and the machinability, at least that's what I remember from a material science class.
This thread, so far...
