What is the difference between a "hemi" block and a regular RB block? I know about the cross bolts on the mains. Is that all or are there differences in the way the heads attach?
Just curious...
A Hemi has bosses in the valley for additional head studs. Nuts are put on the studs from inside the valley. Here is a pic:

Guys World does not and will not have any iron blocks available. aluminum yes. Todd
I am curious as to why. Can you elaborate?
I have one and wonder if I should actually use it, now.
I talked to them at the PRI show. They said when Chrysler almost went into bankruptcy they took the molds back and that was that. He told me if I needed a block to walk over to the Bill Mitchell booth. So I walked over there and they told me all they were making was the aluminum blocks with no raised cam available.

Yeah what he said. Do not worry about them, they are great blocks. Check your oil restrictor as some are not drilled. Easy fix in building not so much when assembled. TOdd
What is the oil restrictor?
