Maybe I should actually READ the subject of these posts before I stick my foot in my mouth and respond. My above response was for an RB wedge block with no crossbolted mains. The subject was clear - "aftermarket HEMI blocks" - I just missed it. I notice that happening more and more as I get older. It sucks!

Anyway, I totally agree with Cab_Burge




Rich,

I digress a little here. Are you migrating your site this winter? I might be interested in upgrading to the sportsman from my Classic depending on the way racing looks this year.

Back to blocks, an OEM Hemi block was ok up to 700-800hp, but oiling was somthing you had to make some changes for and I cracked a main cap and switched to Pro Gram Billets on the stocker...On the after market ones there is a lot more material in them in all the right spots and all the caps are cross bolted..Good for well into the +1000hp range...
