Should be pretty darn close. All the 55 engines were pretty much carbon copies that were stamped out in Germany.
Long as he is using his exhaust, I think he should be fine.
Sorry you guys had trouble finding one. 55Kompressor motors sure aren't small block Chevys (meaning dime a dozen).

What he means is, we have yet to have a block failure. Your friend would be the first block failure we have ever heard of. Many would like to know how on earth your friend only needs a block? Even on engines with multiple blown pistons we still can reuse the block.

Yes.... the 55k engines are built like freakin tanks. This is the first I've ever heard of a damaged block and we have people on here that have pushed the limits to the extreme a few times 
What exactly caused this to happen? Did he do any internal engine mods that lead to this?

Really is that really the case ???
Quite a few cases of piston popping but even with those, blocks stay intact.
Just curious what he thinks happened?
