What is the deck height and lifter angle on these blocks This one is a tall deck (9.6") 48 deg. you can get a short deck and what ever lifter angle.

That set of heads is a set of Chapman done heads and they are to small for that motor it gives up at 6800 but it pulls hard in the mid range. This one is going to get the W9RP that Curtis Boggs from RFD did.

are these blocks actually for sale?? I remember the other attempt at building one it was mentioned it was a "prototype". I hope to have some info after this weekends race if the same guy shows up that I was introduced to at last years race. If not I should still have a contact number.

Yes I think the blocks are for sale, all I did was E-mail him. I know last time I spoke with him he said that the foundry was having problems casting the steel blocks because of core shift, but the aluminum blocks they weren't having problems with. I was told that the other aluminum block that is running is the prototype block.

Not to mention aluminum is easier to fix ... never saw my W5 head that I tried to have repaired did you. Some aluminum..... well, isn't. Isnt that the truth... my first set had so much crap in the alum that it was useless to even try... when I got my replacement set from mopar they said I could keep them... I tried to weld on them..what a joke.... the set I have now is pretty porous but seal.. with some work

called Kevin at Hughes Engines yesterday about doing a ritter block and he said they have done 4 engines to date and have had no problems. He said they will support 1400 hp easily. just need to make clear what you want done from Ritter before they send the block to Hughes.
