Interesting. I'd be in for a hemi, but not a 440.

I'd consider a low deck if they could cast one?

It's nice to see someone thinking about getting it done. Not as many options lately.

Bravo for Hughes Engines!

If they are like the original Mega Blocks that had an OEM appearance, I'd be in on a Hemi block for sure, and maybe a RB.

Hope there is more to than that paragraph........as it appears to say send us $1750 and ask no questions

I am hoping the $1750 is refundable, if they can't pull it off. I would be in for one

My first thought was maybe they're trying to drum up some orders from the same source Muscle Motors is getting their new blocks from. Speaking of which, what's the latest on the MM blocks?

Well apparently you can't ask that..........LOL!!!!

I was waiting to see how long it took for the negative Mopar community to chime in. LOL

Well, you could just make a call to a little shop in Texas, give 'em a CC number and for less than 20k have a 1000HP 565 show up at your shop in 3 or 4 days. Sorry situation but it is what it is. But we've had that conversation.

I'm good to go on my end as I have a Keith black block and a mega block. Just passing on some info I found

I know it's been a LONG TIME ago, but I have a very good memory for things like this and have NEVER bought a single thing from Hughes because of this...

I only read the first page of the link. That was almost 14 years ago and Hughes is still going. Lots of guys blowing smoke.

When I actually see a boycott work, then I'll be worried.

I sold my new Mega block and B1 M/C heads and most
of my BB stuff when I couldnt get my NHRA license
any longer... my next engine will be Gen 3 and go
from there.... now you dont have to have the medical
for a license down to 8.50 but its too late now for
me... I'll be SB from here on in... the BB stuff that
I sold was all new stuff and never even bolted together

I had a similar issue with a Hughes cam going flat several years ago. Hughes accused me of not knowing how to break-in a cam, etc. etc. I sent the cam and lifters in for them to evaluate. They then said well all the good lobes did appear to be worn OK so they kind of changed their tune, but their compensation for my engine that was full of metal was to offer a discount on another camshaft, $15.00 less than I paid for the first one, needless to say a different company got my business and their cam did not go flat, in same block.

+1

According to a brochure, Muscle Motors can provide a low deck..

^^^Never new you were a BB fella, always thought you were SB guy^^^^

Hmm. So this means I need to sell my World Products Hemi block now before they get these on the market?
