That sucks, but hopefully if someone starts making an iron hemi block again, they won't make it weigh as much as the car this time. I'm building another hemi from a World block and holy crap is this thing HEAVY.  I had .250" bored out of it to save weight.  Nice piece other than the weight.
KB and Indy still have aluminum Hemi blocks so all is not lost...just a little harder to acquire. 
what is the weight of the world hemi black, at what bore"

Joel, I have not weighed the one I have, but would bet it's 300 lbs. or better bare. It was 4.25" bore when I got it, 4.5" now. Lost a decent chunk of weight right there.

It would have been nice to see those blocks before I bought mine, at $3200 for an aluminum block I would have bought it. The valve covers they have for $279 look pretty nice. Has anyone tried those valve covers?
$3200 is for an iron block. The aluminum ones are $5K.
I see that now....damn. I see the pricing on the valve covers as well, the ones on the page cover are $699.
