wat exactly is a mexican block?? i know it is stronger than our engine blocks but wat is so special about them and where can they be found
Mexican Block Someone told me that Mexican Blocks have more Nickel in the metal and that makes it stronger. I have no idea if that is true or not.
It's a block that despite having an amazing amount of natural resources, beautiful tourist friendly country, is farm-able, still is a third world block. The block wants to come to America and will do anything it can to find its way into a domestic V8. The Mexican block will "do the jobs that standard American blocks won't do." Make sure you get a legal Mexican block as we don't want undocumented Mexican blocks running around taking away the benefits that American blocks deserve. It has thicker mains, caps, and sidewalls. They weigh about 8 pounds more then blocks created in America. Adam
I know they have a little boss like thing that sticks out on the front of the block beside the timing cover on the drivers side (i think) And yes, they have a higher nickel content. Not really worth messing with now with all the other options you have such as dart blocks etc...
I have lately seen more and more talk that says they are not much ... if any ...stronger that the regular block Grady
