BB Ford.
Look where the oil filter mounts and where the oil pump mounts.

Chisler has an external oil pump so it's not that.

Also, note very nice torrington roller bearings for the cam.
Someone lost alot of money there.
Knife edge billet crank, aluminum rods...
My bet is newbie nitrous setup.
Man I have never seen roller cam bearings

Aluminum blocks always have sleeves whether gas or diesel. I think the block in that picture is a Dart BBC.
Not always.
Chevy early aluminum V8s had a coated aluminum bore.
I don't recall what the coating was called right now (something lame sounding, I remember that much) and it didn't last worth a shit.....but they used it that way for like 20 years.
Just googled...
Nikasil
It's ceramic spray in shit.

BMW tried Nikasil for a while. They changed to Alusil afterwards. Alusil is another form of unlined aluminum block, but it seems to actually work.
