World’s First Aftermarket Cleveland Blocks Now Available

It’s been a long time coming, but now the Cleveland fans have a hardy aftermarket block that’s strong enough to survive anything you can throw at it. The “Titus,” as it’s known is produced by McKeown Motorsport Engineering (MME) and it’s claimed to be the first of its kind. The new block accepts all of the standard Cleveland accessories and hardware, and what’s even better, they’re available in cast iron or aluminum construction and come in deck heights of 9.2in or 9.5in with bore sizes ranging from 4.00in to 4.20in

Unlike the original Cleveland block, the lubrication system has been redesigned for priority oiling to the main bearings with the ability to adjust oil flow elsewhere. In addition, the main webs are burly, providing the greatest amount of material for 4.38in bore centers. Even the main caps have a wider span than the originals, using splayed outer bolts that take anchor in the solid pan rails. The Titus also uses a one-piece main seal that accommodates both production and aftermarket crankshafts and the cam tunnel has been configured to allow stock or larger base-circle camshafts and stock or larger cam journals.

For those purpose-built applications the option list includes solid water jackets; deck heights from 9.100 to 9.700in, 14- or 18-bolt cylinder heads; bushed lifter bores and more.
