[SEL] Novo Rollr HU machining

[Richard Strobel]

Forgot to add...the machinist said in his opinion that the quality of metal 
used in this block was way better than a 350 Chev.  Believe I saw somewhere 
that Novo used a lot of nickel.  It is a very nice looking machined surface 
to these untrained eyes.

Now I just gotta find that damn tag for him...aarrghh
