I had them on a 496" motor that Dick Landy built 660 hp street motor and ran great.But now you can buy 426 hemi blocks for such a resonable price that they don't make alot of sense. It's probably better to get the regular Stage V hemi heads and put them on a 426 hemi block.-Alan

Thanks for info.
Hemi block availability appears to be going away again.

Check out availibity from mopar.
Trouble between them and World.
World not authorized to sell cast iron block, only alum.
Mopar not getting any iron or much less.
I would stock up if I had some extra $$$.
Just what I heard, thought I'd ask others.
