Quote: I was told Arrow has no Aluminum Block castings in stock & Chrysler hasn't started casting more. This is second hand.....take it for what it's worth.
It would not be a surprise if that were true, but it's most likely nothing to panic about.
I'd have to consult with someone in inventory to be sure, but I believe the logic is supposed to be "without orders in the system there's no reason to have castings sitting around".
I can imagine how long it probably took to sell the first batch, all the while the system is gauging demand, and it was competing with brand new iron 6.1 blocks at 1/4 the price (until recently anyway).
Of course the other side of the coin is "build it and they will come" like the iron Gen 2 and Wedge blocks eventually became, but it took many years of proven volume to make that happen.
