I'm in the same boat, ive got some pretty good deals on gen 3 stuff so I pulled the trigger.


I feel as if I've done everything possible with a stock block SB without spending a bunch more money on better heads etc. my current SB needs gone through this winter, and by the time I re ring and bearing it, and do some upgrades that I'd want to do, I could almost put this hemi together. Its bittersweet as I feel I've got some unfinished business with the SB stuff, but I'll turn it up now and donate it to science and see what a stock block will really take.



Just from handling the hemi blocks, I can tell you it's a way better platform. I think there is a lot of power potential with them. I can't wait to get mine back from the machine shop.
