I got a phone call Sunday from Dick Bradshaw regarding the status of my new block that I had put a deposit on through "Muscle Motors". He explained the invoicing procedure and payment schedule and felt I would be able to pick up at US Nationals.Seemed straight up,I questioned his Sunday phone call he replied he was catching up and interested in getting his product to market.Now, my concern is that I have not seen anyone on this forum at least that has received the new block,just curious if anyone had got a block as of yet?

Interesting! So Dick Bradshaw of bulldog fame has actually gotten his block cast? And M.M. Was part of it getting finished? If it's the same Dick! The old coot still owes me a set of valve covers and a valley plate. Wonder if the Buick crowd financed him!!!???

I have to say I either lose my deposit or forge ahead. I am going to move along but seriously,someone has to have gotten a phone call or some kind of contact from someone regarding this block deal. I am in , just hoping there is some filled orders.

I've got one of those valley covers. It does a fine job holding down the turkey pan. About all it's good for.

Lol! After waiting for 5 months to get the 3 revision heads, first set didn't flow the numbers , second set had been welded on. He promised he send a valley cover and valve covers if I'd give him a chance! I was just glad I had a set of heads! Still cost me a motor,split a retainer! I just bought the valley cover thru M.M. Gotta love him!!!

I have my new block. Muscle Motors put the short block together. It will hit the dyno later this year

We are a dealer for them and we have built a Hemi with one.

I know of at least one in addition to the one listed that has already been built and on the dyno. It is a Hemi and in my old 65 Belvedere running NSS

Good news. They exist!

This isn't an actual "Mopar" product though, right?

This is "the block", joint venture between MM and several mystery investors, right?

After the whole debacle with Dalton Foundry and Royal Oak Boring, they should really be looking for a new home for the Chrysler tooling.

Any pics of one of these motors built?

Hopefully he is not mad about this but here goes. There are quite a few really from bare block up, just not sure if he wants his stuff here. Made 850+hp IIRC. Will be in the old red 65 Belvedere we did a few years ago. Stepping up in NSS classes with the new bullet for sure..

This is the car..

Very nice! That's one tough looking '65!!! Love the wheels.

Holey Smokes that is nice!!!

Kinda wish I would have kept it but I have had a few cars I wish I would have kept. Was just a mundane 440 when we had it, went low 11's in Vegas. I picked it up with the intention of selling it. We painted it, had the interior panels and seat redone tidy up some small things and ran it at one race, where it R/U'ed Then on the sale block it went. Had it on here for a few months and just kept getting low balled and beat up about it. Was just a summer project for my son and I. Jim the new owner has done pretty well with it and it was in Dragzine article after he got it.

Nice! What intake manifold is that?

Man I miss that car! I should have never got rid of it...

BADASSNESS Right there............

Ha Ha Ha! Yup the Buick guys financed him one way or the other.
