@Henry, my gut is telling me the same. I am not a seasoned engine builder, but know a thing or two. The engineers in Stuggart 50+ years ago produced many great designs, but they were human and did not have a 100% success rate. The magnesium engine case appears to be one. When the base metal has inherent deficiencies when compared to aluminum, the result can often be candy shyt.
We are building a 914/6 conversion and had a 2.7 short block laying around collecting dust. A previous mechanic had installed a thread insert product which has since failed leaving little room for machining. I might be interested in a 3.0 aluminum case if you are willing to part wit a decent one.
Thank you
