Back in 83 I went through a 5 day course to be a certified DD71 tuneup technician at Stewart and Stevenson in Houston Tx, my instructor was telling our group how he built a pair of DD 71s that were race modified and installed in a cigarette class offshore powerboat, when others blew up the Detroits kept chugging along, I think they were also aluminum blocks.
