Video: Giant aluminum chunk gets CNC'd down to 64-pound engine block


If you're a fetishist are billet aluminum, then today is your lucky day. Kirkham Motorsports aluminum loves and uses to build the metal, the bodies of his Cobra replicas and engine blocks. The engine blocks are pieces of billet aluminum machined from a single block - a 386-pound chuck of aluminum.

The piece of heavy metal is placed in a CNC machine where it is finally down to a 64-pound billet-aluminum 427 engine block carving. The process requires 30 hours CAD work, 50 hours of programming and finally 30 hours to work. Put on your goggles and then passing born on the leap to a replica Cobra Heart Clock.
