Yup.

And the price of the new KB block is a joke as well.

A cast block for more then a billet block because someone's dad's name is on it.



I haven't seen a billet block for much less than $10K, most have been been in the $10-15K range. Where are you guys looking?


Well it was for a SBC but a billet block is a billet block...

That might be true if there were as many people running BBMs as there are running SBCs

Running a Mopar is more costly than most others, period.
I don't blame anyone for being ****ed off that had money in one and hasn't seen it or heard a word. Hopefully those that have blocks ordered get them.
I've seen one of the new blocks, Todd Marsh had one at MMW.

Guys, this is really looking like the mob mentality. Billet blocks from Brad Anderson for $7500? I don't think so, I've looked into that. After machine work with all kinds of options a person would want, more like the 10-15k previously mentioned.
I get why you guys waiting are mad but do you really think you're doing anything other than making the new people wish they never got involved with this? Think about it. If you want to do something, contact a lawyer about a class action suit against Ken Black and wait a minimum of another 2 years for a resolution and possibly .50 on the dollar.

On a side note FHO has a billet hemi water block in the works. HAd one in the shop when I was there yesterday
Complain all you like about the price of a kb but the truth of the matter is it is the best mopar water block available and once you fix an indy it will cost as much or moRe.

So I guess if you were going to run alcohol, wanted a hemi block, were ok with being towed to the line and back to your pit, it would be worth calling BAE and asking how much one really costs and if it came with sleeves, machine work, etc. Less than I thought though, CN from Nuyten are more though.

It comes standard hemi. Mine has 4.375 bore, standard mains and cam, standard lifter bore and spacing.

Options are unlimited and can include water jackets but they have only made two with water.

You still have sand caught in you? This all really bothered you so bad you'd continue to post that it shouldn't be spoken of? Says VOLUMES about your character or lack there of. Getting all hot and bothered about light being shined on the darkness reveals your inner workings...not pretty.

And yeah, great somebody got one. Now you can go troll the guy waiting for three years. Take up for your friends that haven't helped him. Go right ahead. They didn't have to post this thread, didn't have to say an announcement would be made either.


Dude....You are really pushing your luck..Enough said.



You make post after post about it being discussed, at this point I have no idea what you think about the situation. Only that you keep bumping it when you claim not to care. Weird and you take time to take pot shots at people. Maybe let it go to further you stated goal of having it fade away.


I want my fair share

My only input to this topic is perhaps the OP should change the title from "Keith Black blocks are flowing" to "Keith Black blocks are trickling" to be more representative of the situation. grin

Old kb was a trickle. It would have taken 3 years to get 6 blocks

Joe Barry, Colorado Drag Week racer took this picture while visiting Michigan yesterday. Dart Machinery. This is what "BLOCKS FLOWING" looks like. I told my brother when the buy in happened to try and save KB, that we were easily two or three years away from real "shelf stock". Nothing I've read in this post changes my mind on that assumption. I'm a patient guy...we will see, but not holding my breath.

Dart would probably produce 10 times the number of blocks that KB or Indy does. But yes Billy, your points are very valid
