So David, when can I expect Alpha 3 to arrive at my doorstep?

I have some questions....

Most aftermarket blocks have cross ribs in the valley area to add strength to the squareness of the block. Your picture shows the opposite... it seems that you have taken out a lot of material from around the upper cylinder area. Don't you feel this design will be weaker than other blocks, as well as not cool as well by not having the upper water jackets?

What's the oiling setup? Side oiler? Top oiler? Something in between like the Shelby block?

Will the outside of the block have OEM shape? Would it look like a stock Ford block if painted?

Looks like a nice piece, I can't wait to see a finished block!!
