Here's the scoop to some degree on whats going on with the cast iron Wedge blocks. Mopar ( go figure) actually waits till they get a number of backorders or their "system" sees a demand built up for a blcok order. They need to order them 100 at a time, and they also include the Hemi blocks into this "ordering process". Since there are approx 75-80 Hemi blocks in the system at the moment, there is no rush for them to order 100 blocks of any configuration. Until the 80 Hemi blocks get depleted to some degree, they wont be ordering more Wedge blocks.





Todd, thanks for posting that info so accurately.

I'd like to add: the above only applies to Mopar part numbered blocks sold through an authorized Mopar Performance Parts dealer.

It has nothing to do with World's business, or World's
in-house part numbers only sold through WP.

If you can't get a 4.500 "race" configuration wedge block (dual bellhousing patterns, etc)....since that configuration is not even offered by Mopar, it needs to be discussed with WP.

Mopar owns the tooling, but Mopar has nothing to do with race block production volume because Mopar does not sell that configuration, and has no active part numbers for that configuration.




Thanks for all the info guys. If anyone knows why they need 100 blocks to be ordered first, we do.
