I was referring to the statement about a big ol' chunk of 355-T6 aluminum. That would be a solid block. You have to cast a street block to form the coolant passages. Solid block would be race only.

Why couldn't the passages be machined?

How would you machine inside the block so coolant could encapsulate the cylinders?
