I haven't seen any posts on the Hp al Hemi blocks lately. Are any of them in service yet? How are they doing? For that matter, I haven't seen much about the World al. Hemi blocks either. Good news, bad news?

I am looking to get one and was wondering how they are doing in service?

I can't believe no one knows anything on this. I can tell you that I talked to Tim Banning at FHO and he seems to like them. He had some things changed in the machining to his liking on his motors. Call Tim as that is all he is building right now until the new iron blocks get out.

I had given up on a response on this. Thank you for digging it up.

I have a World iron block now but was seriously considering going to aluminum for this build. But I was hoping for a little more info from users on these blocks before pulling the trigger.

The only thing that stopped me was my iron block was at the machine shop after a 6 month wait. I wished I could have done the same swap.

From what i know the HP aluminum Hemi blocks are just now becoming available.

The updates and changes are done and now its just waiting on the foundry and machine shop until blocks are in stock ready for sale.

I know that David at HP got a few in stock right after Carlisle show.

When I first talked to David, he had several that were not spoken for in his next shipment. He was getting 20 or so at a time.
