Either one. I have inquired about the KB, was told they are 4-6 months out. That was back in June.

I couldn't find anything a year and a half ago...I think they were 4 to 6 months out. Which seems to be another way of saying that no one is making any?

If you want a KB Block the best thing to do is get a hold of Best Machine race engines or For Hemis Only.
They’ll have a better idea or may even have a block there

I have had my new completely finish machined block for sale for quite some time and not one nibble. I have it listed for what I have into it so unfortunately it will most likely never sell.

I know what you're implying, but if there's nothing else available...buy an Indy block and have a good shop correct the issues.

As of right now if you want one sooner than later id suggest going to Indy. Will take some time but it will get delivered

I talk to Tim at FHO minutes ago on when my KB wedge block will be ship, he says there almost done with the Hemi blocks now and getting ready to ship them. He ordered 25 more hemi blocks for inventory so maybe you should call him NOW about getting one of them up scope FHO=905-797-2459

But the new ones he is making have the bigger head deck bolts and some other stuff different as well don't they.....How do you get one to fit a set of Eddy heads?

They make them with 7/16 head bolts also. But I'm sure you can ream Eddy's for 1/2" head bolts.

I'm not aware of any head bolt size changes to the KB wedge blocks, I hope they are still 7/16 luck

Found a list of part numbers on his website. Looks like you can still get a block to fit OEM heads.

It would be interesting to know if those 25 blocks end up being sold before they actually arrive at his shop.
