Your not looking in the right places, try inside top alcohol, national dragster and places like that. KB blocks may hold there value more than some parts. But most of the racers are using BAE billet blocks now so the mud/monster trucks and boat racers are using the KB stuff and it should be cheaper, imo.
I had a Top dragster racer try to steal one of my KB/BAE motors a couple months ago, he was telling me how cheap he can find stuff now. I told him to go elsewhere because I was not giving my stuff away.

is the price difference close between the indy and kb blocks? does anyone know the weight difference between the two? for a street motor, if price was close which would you choose?

70 CUDA CONVERT 500" 5SP (SUBLIME)
70 CUDA CONVERT 500" 5SP (PLUMCRAZY):TOO MUCH HORSEPOWER, IS ALMOST ENOUGH!

The KB IMO, is heads and tails above any other aluminum block our there. The Indy block pay look cheaper at face value, but by the time you get the machine work done that Indy charges for (it comes standard with the KB) the price will be within pennies. The only problem with KB is the wait, and I hear that isn't as long as when I ordered mine. If it's for a race only application though, get everything done up front as it will cost more if you need to have it done later.
