Hi all, I have been staring at my spare engine block in my garage. it is from a mercruiser 120 engine, that I rebuilt for my boat. I have been giving serious thought to measuring everything on it and building it in miniature. I would love to make it as much like the full size as possible. To do this I would break out my foundry, and sand molds and do up a pour. However, I would like to know if any of you have cast in place the block and head water jackets. I would love to do this on my build. The only way I can see to do it right, is a sand core pattern of the water jacket that is placed into the mold cavity after I pull my block blank out of the mold sand.... Does this sound right to you guys? Is this the way to do the oil passages too or are those milled after the casting?
Regards & Happy New Year to everyone!
