has anyone ever heard ofa c-block. i heard that they exist but dont know if the guy i was talking too knows was he is talking about. he said it has a 9.75 deck height and is an old pro stock style block. any input would be great thanks.
Here you go.......from a Feb. 2008 post by G. Blair.
==================================================
The part number for that block is M-6010-C460. 34 total were produced. Most had the D-460 head fastener pattern. Some were made with the 10 bolt 9/16 pattern with and without the valley and exhaust 7/16 holes. The valley lugs have to be removed for a Hemi head. The decks are drilled and plugged like the A & B-460 blocks. The mains are 2.75 like the B-460. There are no oil supply galleys for 2-5 cam beraings. Oil return passages in the decks need flaring to align with the head. They were drilled before decking based on A-460 prints and are misaligned. You will need to drill one additional bell housing bolt to meet the NHRA rewquirement of 6 bolts.
Use the Lincoln C-6 bolt hole for the other. It also has extended cylinders somewhat like a small block or A-500. The belt drive will loose the upper right bolt hole. You can drill another one lower if you wish. They are nice blocks if you have a need for a 9.75 deck.
Yes ... running through the old microfish listings, if you go as far back as the early 90's there was a M-6010-C460 block which is as stated above.
In the mid 90's the M-6010-A500 block was introduced at an original deck height of 9.200" with no head bolt pattern; the decks were later set for sale at an even 9.000" deck height and both a "D" 18 head bolt pattern or none at all were available.
EDIT: If you go back far enough you can find a Flat Head block available too, lol. I'll bet somebody, somewhere might also have one of those.
thanks lem. information was nice. but it sounds like ill be better off taking as much of the deck of eliminator as i can to get close to what i want as possible. the 4.625 bore and 3.55 stroke is what i want guess i could compromise and go 4.560 bore and 3.625 stroke to get what i want.
and rm not sure what that edit was about if you were being smart *** or what but there is a purpose for my questions.

If I remember correctly you can get down to about a 10.100" deck on the eliminator block. Actaually I'm thinking that was a different block was a few years ago... anyway the Eliminator block supposed to have around a .800" thick deck.
