Cast iron big block availability?

OK. So there isn't a whole lot of aluminum blocks available. Are there any cast iron RB aftermarket blocks that are being produced and don't need a complete overhaul? I thought Bill Mitchell was making his own for a while but don't see them on his web site.

Hotrod had a writeup on a new castiron RB block last year but I cant find it.

There have been several threads lately about this.

Just call The Chicago Connection for the real time line.

I'm sure Best Machine could get an Indy aluminum block in your hands in a reasonable time frame.

I believe the only one possibly available is "the block" from the chicago connection. AKA the same block that Muscle Motors was marketing.

What happened to your Indy block?

Working on getting it repaired. Checking all options at this time.

I have a new indy block for sale,check the classified race part section if interested

How about Bulldog performance ? has anybody order block tru them , and got one allso.

Bulldog is Bradshaw which is the same as the Chicago Connection and Muscle Motors block. It is all the same guy who ripped a bunch of people off years ago. There are a bunch of threads on the topic on this board as well as every other race forum on the web.

Thank you Andy for the information.
How about Jeremy Goodstein at Rod & Custom machine in TN ? was not heir a tread about him selling the iron block ? I saw it on facebook allso,,

It is easier to get an aluminum block than a cast iron block. The Bill Mitchell block is aluminum, when it is available. He used to be associated with World and still is, a little. But he took the aluminum block line and left the cast iron block line with World.
From his comments about improvements in the machining processes he was moving to on his aluminum block, it sounds like World had some worn out machines that couldn't hold tolerances.

I don't know anyone turning out new cast iron big blocks at the moment, except for Chicago Connection, which is only a maybe.

Hard to run a Aluminium block in Stock / super stock,,,

I'm not trying to start a piss match but this has been posted many times when someone ask about the block..but most still praise kb...humm..i don't have a dog in the fight cause I just had my last mopar 512 done waiting for the weather to get right to enjoy it if I can..

I'm thinking about selling my World cast iron block.

I'm close to putting my new Mopar Performance Mega Block Siamese bore up for sale too.
My plans aren't heading in the same direction I had three years ago.

Block is at 4.200", sonic checks great, report is available.
PM if interested.

I pulled my 4.490 rough bored Koleno high nickel cast grey iron block out of storage today to put it on a engine stand
Can you say 555 C.I. of Chevy getting Mopar wedge motor

Pics please

If I could post them on here I might, but I can't yet
That rascal is really heavy

Bill is trying to clean up the mess. IF his 4 test blocks pass inspection he will start releasing them. Hemi for now, then RB, then low deck.

So Andy ,,, when i call Bulldog performance the told me 6 weeks and then the can get me a new iron block ? can i trust them on this ? I have to pay a deposit 1700 USD . Are the going to blow me do you think ?

I don't think they will come to Sweden to blow you, so for your $1700 you won't even get kissed.

Caveat Emptor.

I don't want to sling mud. I would only suggest you Google "Bulldog engine blocks" and "Dick Bradshaw" and do your research.

Sherman Racing Engines on FB claims 2-4 weeks for cast iron block. Max bore 4.600. Max stroke 4.625. Base cost $3,975.

A 4.600 bore BBM aint gonna leave a lot between the bores on a 4.800 BS block...If you really want 4.600 you need to buy a 4.840 and a set of 600-13 heads and still roll the dice at least you leave .240 between the bore edges so .120 per cylinder.

BTW what block is Sherman racing engines selling?? Assume it is the same one Chicago connection and others are selling?

I think he said this back in May. You might check to see if he actually got them.

I don't know Alan Sherman but I know he enjoys a very good reputation with the NHRA Stock and Super Stock crowd.

He is supposed to be a straight shooter who does good work.

Jeremy Gooldstein At Rod & Custome Machine in TN, he "blow" me 3 weeks ago. He ripp me off on a New HEMI block he told me he hade.
