And the bore needs to be 4.700 or bigger, and the stroke needs to be 5.5" or bigger, and the current block and cyl head design only allows for 4.560 bore by 5" stroke, what needs to be done to supply little Johnny a block? Can you say aftermarket bow tie? Sure you can.






DING DING DING. We have a winna!

To supply little Johnny a block, the 700 and up HP guys need to stop playing Russian Roulette and pony up, increasing the demand, causing production to go and prices to come down.
When the last 1976 44o pukes it's guts out and there are none to be had, then, maybe the worm will turn. Until then, MoPar BB (and big displacement SB's) racers will suffer with geometrically silly engine combinations.



So a 4.56 x 5 is silly.....but a 4.70 x 5.5 or more is fine....????

And how on earth can someone buy a megablock if there are none available because they have all been bought ??








You are crazy..

When was the last batch of blocks produced.?? I don't know that answer.. (Maybe Zippy could find out)

But I'll bet it was a couple years ago at least..

Same thing for the R3 small block..

Sure, there are no blocks now, but how long did it take to sell that last batch.. 2-3 years to sell 50 blocks.??

Not really worth it..
