Here ya go. It's a facebook link, all this guy has it posted as... So you may have to be logged in to see it.
I watched a little of it. Give it to at least about 30 seconds in where he does a retarded hairpin turn at what's likely about 90mph

So they finally came out with pricing for these blocks through ProMarine at the Miami boat show this last weekend.
The 2.5L is nearly done.
ProMarineUSA is very proud to be the distributor for the Caldwell Racing Technology (CRT) high performance/racing engines.

After years of very hard work, testing and fine tuning the products CRT is ready to release the finished product.

The motors currently available are 2.5 liter in 2 different configurations, the SR (standard race) which can be configured to run between 350 to 400 HP, and the CR (custom race) which can be configured to run between 400 to 450 HP.

The motors are available to be purchased as block kits, sealed powerheads and fully dressed powerheads which gives the customer the ability to have a motor built to their specific needs..

Block kits give you the opportunity to use parts that you already have with the advantage of producing more horsepower, lighter weight and most importantly availability.

As you all know availability for race blocks from any manufacture in 2 stroke configurations is almost nonexistent as well as many of the parts.

CRT comes in to keep our sport and passion living.

The block, crankcase, heads and brackets are produced out of 7075 aluminum. All the cover plates are available in carbon fiber or aluminum.

SR Block kit
Block, crankcase, heads, divider plate, water cover kit, gasket set, brackets, and bolt kit.

$19,300.00

CR Block kit
Block, crankcase, heads, divider plate, water cover kit, gasket set, brackets, SVS intake, reed cages, reeds, plates and bolt kit.

$30,995.00

As of today, we are only releasing block kit pricing. Later this week we will release pricing on the parts, sealed powerheads and fully dressed powerheads.

Oh that'll still happen. He actually called this morning to make one changes. We need to add some drain ports to the bottom of the block for colder climates to completely drain the blocks.

And then there's document control. Dude doesn't do any of that, he always just picks up the phone and calls me to say "hey the gasket shop needs prints in dwg format. Can you send that out?"

Some heads up on another project I'm (hopefully) wrapping up. Designing a whole interchangeable rifle setup for this guy. He also owns a company that makes carbon fiber rifle barrels up in Montana. But he's based out near :melon: in Baton Rouge.
Basically it's got a couple of pieces that can be interchanged to go between the Mini, Midi, and Maxi version of the receivers. It's 3 different lengths that can accommodate a huge array of round sizes. https://www.duplessisrifles.com/

Image

Looked up their page but there's not much more than my models on it. I sent off the last set of magazine parts that needed draft in them to the injection mold guys today.
Had to have a shit ton of back and forth with them to make this thing moldable. Somewhere along the lines these guys decided they wanted to make their own magazines and associated parts. So I got a lot of that thrown onto my plate.
