Anything can be "repaired", but depending on what was taken out or damaged when the block/case was windowed will determine future use. A few individuals have made good livings just by repairing busted or blown up drag racing blocks. We've repaired both cast iron and aluminum sprint car blocks that have returned to race without issue. Are the Merlin cases aluminum, magnesium, or a combo?
Maybe someone will post pics of Miss A's engine aftermath.
Per Mr. Hisey's post, he uses a builder other then Vintage? What about the machining? How many shops are still left rebuilding/machining V-12s?
Thanks!
