I'm thinking about finally putting together something for my F1R procharger and will want to start with a good block. I haven't heard anything about the Koleno blocks in a long time, are they still producing? What about the mega blocks? Thanks for the help.

Not sure if Koleno is still producing blocks but heard the wait time is months. Also world blocks weren't getting the best review on a few other blogs. Maybe somebody could chime in with more updated info?! board.moparts.org/ubbthreads/showflat.php?Number=8010101 http://www.keithblack.com/ http://www.indyheads.com/ http://www.kolenoperformance.com/ http://www.b1heads.com/specials.html http://www.theengineshop.com/products/en...inum-block.html

I like cast iron, especially when running N/A, with a blower I might(depending on the power level, if above 1200HP, aluminum will be my choice ) want to have a good aluminum block Mr.Cab Racing and winning with Mopars since 1964.
