Have most ready to finish building just need my Lifters and push rods. Hopefully soon I can build it and finish wiring and get it to the dump and post results.

Belzona super metal very expensive, but the best I have found. belzona is crazy good. But in this application I need something with a lower viscosity that will flow into the problem area easier.. I'm not a hundred percent sure on the name at the moment In the 8s N/A.with Brett miller W8's 5.07 at 133 at 2700lb

If mine makes good power and has no issues then what? I know Dart said they would make a block but that is a couple years away at least. I'm telling you guys my block is different than Whitedart's but nobody is listening Whitedart's block was an earlier version and the people that machined it are no longer doing the work for Ritter. Ritter moved all his stuff to a new facility with way better machines. I got blocks #3 and #4, who got #1, #2, #5, #6 and #7? Nobody on this board I guess Anyways Whitedart's block has problems and I wish him the best, he has one of the best machine shops in the US working on his stuff so he is in good hands. These type of build are rare and even more rare because they are Mopars. Like I said stay tuned. I have heard that the Bernal of the cylinders is much better with the new blocks also that the rough machine work is better.. these are all pluses and things that needed to happen..

Brian Hafliger master Joined: Jan 2003 Posts: 5,484 SoCal	Originally Posted By DavidDean I'm concerned, My new Ritter block shipped out Friday from Ritters headed to QMP. I was planning on having the cam tunnel bored to 60mm but I'm having second thoughts. I hope the newer blocks have more meat in that area. Thanks for sharing Shilo. Our block I had cut for 50mm cam core.... Brian Hafliger

He was going to use it for a new ebrock head build, but sold it and is venturing into a Gen3 build. It had already gone through QMP’s hands and as far as I’ve know had been given a thumbs up. We are building that engine now....will have it running in a few weeks. Brian Hafliger

R. it has been a while since we talked about it but if my memory serves me it varies from hole to hole top to bottom I believe from 210 to 240.. it should be getting honed again here in the next couple weeks he will check it again. I guess it makes it difficult when you're trying to achieve a quality hone. Last edited by WHITEDART; 07/28/18 02:56 AM. In the 8s N/A.with Brett miller W8's 5.07 at 133 at 2700lb
