Where to get a large block of steel?

(1/3) > >>

dawesy:
Got a project to do for a friend. (Turbo to manifold adapter)
Need a block of steel about 120x110x50 to mill it from.
Tried the usual places, nogginend, eBay etc but they don't seem to go this large.
Anyone got any leads?

John Rudd:
Have you tried College Engineering supplies?
What about cast iron as a material?

sparky961:
This answer is geographically biased and specific, but are there no commercial steel suppliers somewhat near you? You'll pay more than a business that buys plenty but should still be reasonable.

Pardon me if this is a stupid suggestion, but can't you braze  smaller pieces together to get the size you need? It would an awful lot of heat and probably need more than just a torch and a few bricks, but is should be doable.
