I talked to them Friday and they implied that they were still not quite ready but should be soon.

I'm not trying to rain on this parade but I have heard directly from Ken Black and Dave Koffel that casting blocks is a black art, lots of problems in getting good useable blocks whiney shruggy
I am hoping to all get out that someone will come out with a good quality Mopar Wedge cast ironor cast grey iron block for racing and street use luck

Well. The Chevy guys seem to have it figured out. So surely someone else can get it figured out.

They're certainly in high demand, I just sold my spare megablock for $4200 and the guy drove 10hrs one way on a weekday to pick it up...

Me thinks the after market block industry is serving the bigger market first, not the Ford and Chevy guys making quality parts tsk whistling
I would really like to know how many new block castings get thrown away do to lack of quality casting issues work

World will take a 500.00 deposit on an aluminum Hemi block ( I only asked about a Hemi when I called). They said I would have it 1st of the year, (in Jan.) and would refund deposit if you changed your mind before delivery, or if they can't deliver.
I know the KB block is better but unattainable. What real world experience is out there using World aluminum Hemi blocks?

Latest word is that kb has partnered with a hemi engine shop who will be marketing them and they will be in full swing shortly producing and selling blocks again. The shop is for hemis only. Hopefully this is true as it was posted today on a few mopar sites


SFI 25.5 depends,no leak,even at 213 mph....

Yep, I saw that about the KB blocks but, this thread is for the Muscle Motors' block. I'm interested to see if anyone has received one yet.
