[T3] new aluminumn case

[Brian Fye <vwfye@spro.net>]

<x-flowed>i have had opportunity  to email with a couple folks that have purchased 
the new cases.  they are rough surfaced on the outside surfaces, with 
good quality machining.  so far the cases have mic'd out very well. 
they are about 15 lbs heavier than the magnesium case.  one shop that 
is ordering a gross of them says after the 'newness' wears off, the 
cases with be less $$$ than a new as41 case.  these are OEM, not NOS 
cases, that come with stock specs for  bore, stroke and cam.  one shop 
is hoping to sell them bored and stroked, full flowed and ready to roll 
for 300 bucks!  the Cal Look Forum is having lots of  'discussion' about 
these cases and as more info is found for certain, it will be passes on! 
CB is also going to come out with an aluminum case this summer, and 
performance tech is coming out with its own after market 
high-performance case for engines as big as 90x103!  this is getting fun (-:
