This arrived yesterday. I've been waiting 10 years for this engine! Tim Meyer developed, cast, machined and assembled this.
It's an all aluminum supracast 434 Cleveland. Target HP is 780, naturally aspirated. Not going in my Torino, though. It's going in my 70 mach 1. Just thought I would share. Enjoy!

Pretty slick. I asked once how the oil drains at the lifters. Is there a drain hole or does it pool on top of the lifters and get pushed out when it is running?

It pools up in the small area where the lifters are then it drains down through the center of the valley..he has done several oiling mods to his design

Very nice. It's almost close to my dream engine, but I only want a 1/4" stroker. Does that use a true Cleveland crank, and not the popular Windsor type with the Cleveland main bearing size?

WOW! That is one awesome engine. I follow TMeyer and see all his awesome trackboss stuff. This is a super cool engine, and it will be an absolute beast. Please share more about this build as it goes into the Mustang.

I think Tim said it was an 60 lb difference in the iron and aluminum blocks..
It has all Cleveland internals. No Windsor based anything in it. I believe the stroker assy is Scat. 10 years is way too long but COVID hit Tim hard and he had to most of the building himself. I think it will be worth the wait.
