Alloy Blocks & Unicorns

Coldwell.
That is all.

Just because something is prohibitively expensive, daft yet wonderful at the same time, doesn't mean you shouldn't pursue it.
Yes, the chances of selling many (or any) of these are slim, but I applaud the endeavour - let's play nice.

Totally agree,



I’m just wondering how much....?

And will it only be for the bmw k head or will it be available for the 5 port....?

Is it being machined for someone else.....?

Seem to remember specialist components talking about one of these a while back, are they involved in this also....?

- let's play nice.

Are we not playing nice ?
I thought the title of the post was encouraging us to debate the whys and wherefores of this coming to fruition ?

Would like nothing more than to see this happen, as I would expect most of us would.

Equally though, their Facebook posts are designed to create discussion and debate (good and bad) , very useful for product development and market feasibility......

So there

Alloy blocks with steel main caps are pretty common for American V8s.

Can anyone explain why the Company making these posts on FB appears to not exist.

Ascaso Engineering limited

Google - No results, apart from the facebook page
Companies House - No results
Experian - No results

Check the address & it comes back as no exact match.

Ascaso-Engineering, just a guess but itmust be an acronym of some kind,

Let’s all play the game then....I’ll guess first... am I close.... ?

A....?
S....? specialist..?
C...? components..?
A....?
S....?
O...? Owens..?

Someone else got any other ideas.

Surely if Specialist Components where involved they'd do it themselves and also post about it themselves...

As (I think his name is Gary) has said it's a side project after regular work has been disrupted because of covid

Soon as they finish machining, they will have a prototype - then to test it.......how long would it take to properly test a new prototype engine block ?

About 3 laps at Goodwood
