Bryant is in the same boat............call them and you should expect a 3 month answer on time frame and feel lucky if you actually get it within that time.
We are building a new 5.0 motor right now. The size we chose was STRICTLY based on the crank we could get in a reasonable time frame. We found one in process for another guy who had changed his mind and we took what we could get. They machined it and set it aside until we got an approx. bobweight. After we gave them a weight, was a month before they could get to THAT

A bit off topic for sure but one more pic you guys might enjoy. This was a crank made for a cup team based off of some European engineering suggestions. Needless to say it did not work at all. But an interesting piece none the less. They call is a dognut crank for obvious reasons.  Looks crazy and this is how we learn what works and what doesn't...........

I wasnt able to make it to Norwalk over the weekend and I'm curious if anyone may have gotten any more info about the new blocks from the guys at MM. Or if anyone got any pics of the new blocks can you post them up.
Thanks Aaron MM brought this unfinished casting to MoPar Nationals. And it's a LOW DECK block... been waiting for one of these. The "MM" logo is above the oil pump location

Looks like a real nice casting from what the pics show. I wish them well. Nice to have the options they are offering.

Man, that's a lot of cranks. (without starting a pissing match) are they American made? Feel free not to answer.
I lived on Long Island and worked in Ronkonkoma before moving to NC. Never got the opportunity to run down to Bill Mitchell. For that matter, never went over to Kooks either. They were located in Dix Hills. Don't know if Jack Merkell is still around. I had Lee at Lab Machine do all of my work. Real smart guy. Great at thinking out of the box. Scott Merkell is still crankin engines out.Lee is still in space.American is still here doing headers and exhaust.
HEMI-ITIS has no cure.
My condition is fully BLOWN!!
