I know some lucky people have received some hemi blocks, but has anyone heard for any wedge in the pipeline? Also, what would max bore be and approximate price?

about six months ago I ran some part numbers and the only good news was that they still showed some on back order..... meaning they haven't axed them yet.

NO not as of now there are none. I hear they may happen again but I also hear that some of the Hemi blocks are not exactly perfect either.

You would think there is a bigger market for wedge than Hemi? Shows how much I know.

Not as many wedge people want $15,000 engines.

Be nice to just get some parts all at once instead of heads no block ..brand x looks better and better when it comes to building something now. .

I can build an entire 500 hp LS motor for what a bare block costs.

Jeff, You are smarter than I ever hope to be but when you are a true Mopar believer cost doesn't factor into it. I didn't build my 605 thinking of the cost, I built it because I had to. And Jeff I intend no disrespect.Dave

Sad but true...I love my mopar been had of my dusters for about 17yrs now had a Cuda Hurst pistol grip shifter rally dash loved that car also got a 73 chassis duster ..would love to build a bullet for it but there are no blocks..I love old cars going fast the easy of working on them..I could really care less of the brand long as I'm enjoying..sitting around looking at others race is no fun..

The price I've heard for the wedge blocks isn't that far off from what an aftermarket LSX block is. Rotating assemblies are fairly similar $$$ regardless of make. A killer top end for an old Mopar is where you take it in the rear.
