We received the new Keith Black Aluminum block today. Just digitized it and it came out perfect! All it needs is final hone. Took 6 weeks from order date. I know that more Hemi and Wedge blocks are right behind and hope to have some in stock soon.
KB Blocks should be $6895.00 from any dealer. Lifter Oiling, Raised Cam, Standard Cam, Hemi or Wedge are all the same price. Low deck blocks are also available. Just wanted to keep all informed about what is happening with these blocks. Now we just need Mopar to make Iron blocks.

Looks nice. It will be great when those blocks are in stock at a few engine builders so guys can get engines built on a schedule that they trust.

Pretty awesome. Ray Barton is on moparts. Nice to hear those blocks are coming through. I'm sure people will appreciate the first hand knowledge about the quality of the blocks from a trusted source.

Welcome to Moparts!

I think this is more than an advertisement. It is pertinent information to Mopar racers. The status of KB blocks and lack of availability has been discussed here for years. Thanks for the update!

It will be nice to hear from on of the guys that has been waiting for very long time to get their KB Block.

Hopefully one of those guys will chime in with "Check it out I got my block today!"

That would help with the questions I have.

They said they where going to take care of these people and if they do they will have my business again!

I have to agree it's nice to see good blocks again.

Wow, Mr Barton don't you think maybe you should have consulted with KB corp. before posting your ad?
Just my opinion but I think you have opened a flood gate. There is a lot I would like to say. But have been advised not to!

My prayers and best wishes go out to all the guys that have had blocks on order for over a year. From what I understand over 40 paid customers.
