Finally got 'em and they're shipping. And worth the wait, too. They're set up to be vendor ship direct, which means it ships to your dealer direct from the machine shop in Auburn Hills, MI. Vendor ship direct also means dealers can't see any warehouse inventory, so they might be a little nervous promising an arrival date. Tell them not to worry. Order it, and it'll show up. Anyway here is the spread of part numbers: P5155507 4.125 finished bored, fully machined P5153897 4.055 finish bored, fully machined P5153898 semi finished machining, 4.114 bore, can be bored to 4.185 P5155630 semi finished machining "builder's special", no assembled components, allows user to finish machining to their unique requirements and aftermarket bearings if necessary All blocks are made from casting P5153896. (P5153896AA is the most current and most often seen casting). They're 98lbs lighter than stock. They're nice to work with, and are quite a departure from the old iron I am more accustomed to. Here's a couple shots of an aluminum 440CI engine.

Well, I received the same question in PM so might as well post it as long as it doesn't upset anyone. If the prices mean the thread has to be moved to the new product area, please move this thread  They all retail at 4485, except for the builder's special. I don't understand why, but the builder's special is priced alot higher at 5780 retail. It has less machine work but costs more? Might be due to lack of demand, or that it isn't being used in a crate engine that drove the price up....really not sure. Shouldn't be too hard to beat retail prices with a little digging...there are several dealers on here who would probably be willing to knock the number down a significant amount.

Are all the block the same except the one that is partially machined?
Do they just have different bores sizes?
I am trying to figure out which one to get and would like to know if the one with the smaller bore has more cylinder wall thickness.

Its just a friend that gets a discount at a local dealer. In case you didn't know, chrysler employees get a 25% discount on parts at dealers. Maybe you have a friend or family that is a Chrysler employee.

If you could get it at that price by it .ll by it from you if you don't want it.
