He actually made some. He even cast some in magnesium. He left the back part of the cam tunnel solid on the Cammer blocks. I'd talked to him about a fresh look at the changes it'd take to strengthen blocks---such as short water jackets, provision to use top-flanged cylinder liners and a few other ideas. But he got sick before it was anything more than talk.
