    2020 Capri build

    Going to share some stuff of my upgrades going into the 2020 season.

    First thing i have going on is the new short block build.

    Found a decent core, had it how tanked, washed, and sonic checked.

    I did not sonic check my previous block. We know they are thin in places, obviously realized the last one was thinner than though when it cracked. This block checked out pretty well, likely as good as you are going to find a passenger car block. We will move the bores slightly to the thicker sides now that we have data.

    as a reference I broke a chunk out of the old block and it was .095 where it cracked. That block was only .110 on the front of #4 before boring. (.095 + .015 as half of .030 over bore).

    Really happy with this as a starting point.
