It's really no problem....it's just that the situation hasn't changed from several months ago.
The block isn't sold bare any longer, so it has to be a short block assy. As painful as that may be, at least there are about a dozen of them readily available.
Same with heads, it is no problem getting them, there are about a dozen of each part number available. But they are not sold bare. For anything other than a stocker the Eagle and Apache heads seem to have taken over.

I'm confused. R U taking about the 6.1 block only comes as a short block?
If yes do you have a part #?
If this is true I don't understand why Fiat sold so many bare 6.1 block.
According to INDY they bought almost all of them at a really cheap price.
Even if they had really bad core shift why?
Obviously the short block are for warranty?

when Saltillo changed over to Eagle/Apache they were all done with 6.1 blocks and they would never make them again....
According to INDY they bought almost all of them at a really cheap price.Even if they had really bad core shift why? Sorry I can't tell you what happened there, although I don't agree with the situation I do know Indy is sitting on big quantities. Obviously the short block are for warranty? could be, but I have no way of finding that out as I'm not involved with that process, somebody else would have to take a guess
On to the next question-----

The R4 is still on back order?
Actually the R4 blocks are readily available now, as said...whatever the hold up was did take quite awhile to work out....but they're in stock now.
P5007151AC shows 15 in whse inventory (the p-head block)
P5007270AC shows 5 in whse inventory (the wedge block)

insults can be fun, when they're done creatively and with good taste and a sense of humor  It is understandable how frustrating it can be just to find parts...to get ready for a big project, ready to lay down the money and all, then get stuck because the most important piece of the puzzle, the foundation for everything, is on intergalactic backorder. Just did some more editing to the main list, things are looking pretty good for the most part.

And as far as core shift.....
Its funny what people come up with for an excuse when they have to explain why they just sold every block they had in inventory.
The blocks we bought were ready for assembly at the factory....
Wonder what block the fastest 6.1 drag pak cars in the country are running.
Let's say that this is true. It does make sense to sell what you have for below market value, then produce more. 
IIRC even IF they had bad core shift your warranty replacement is only good for one year.
Cheaper to use them then to cast new ones.
