Does the new Iron blocks even exist?


Yes they do i spoke with the supplier on sunday and he told me theres about a 5 week lead time as of right now
I mentioned a guy with his block at Best Machine they were going over it to see if there was any issue only thing they said was oil pump bolt holes are alittle off and oil pump mounting holes will need to be opened up to line it up and the lifter bores had a taper
I attached a pic of his block which he picked up from Best of the weekend.


Thank you sir, that's a beautiful sight!

Is this block going to be a Mopar block or is this strictly an outside source?
