When I worked there (in the block department) we put out a block a day. This isn't rocket science guys. You just do a block and ship it out. (Or the racer would come to pick it up.) It's really that easy. Everybody wants to make this seem like a black art and almost impossible. It's not. I hear every excuse imaginable on these threads. Can't get sleeves, porosity issues, can't figure out how to make a main cap, can't get studs, etc. What a bunch of smack. KB has been making blocks over 40 years. Do you reckon they know how to get a block out? There has been something else going here for a long time.
