Anyone Heard Of "block Posting"

I've done it, you have to be very careful when doing this, every measurement must be very accurate. It is a substitute to a block guard that allows better cooling with the same reinforcement.

one more thing, if you are going to have this done as well as have sleeves installed, make sure they install the sleeves, then post, then bore/hone, otherwise the sleeves will crack under stress

This is in an article on http://www.theoldone.com/articles/badtothebone/:
Since as noted above [refers to B18A/B20], these blocks are a bit on the fragile side, I’ll use the old NASCAR trick of “posting” to improve its survival rate. BTW, as a point of interest, there are all sorts of clowns in the import industry claiming to have invented “posting”, but if they weren’t old enough to be building engines in the late 60’s, they’re liars because “posting” had it origins with attempts to strengthen Ford blocks and heads back then. Hell, after looking at some of the hand-built race blocks from the first half of the 20th century, “posting” probably began much earlier than that.
The posting process involves machining and tapping holes in the thrust sides of the block and torquing in threaded aluminum “posts” that physically “connect” the outer part of the cylinder with the outside (peripheral) walls of the block. With these “posts” installed, if the cylinder walls are going to move, they have to move the outside walls of the block too, so they add a tremendous amount of strength, making the block capable of withstanding a lot of abuse. This modification also has no ill effect on cylinder cooling, which is something I’m big on these days.
