If I was willing to invest the money (which I'm not) I'd just go visit BBM and talk to them about what it would take to do a Mopar block. I wouldn't do anything tricky, just a reproduction RB block that is thicker and stronger with cross bolted mains.


There are also Cleveland blocks being made.... I have no idea how many they'd sell but I dont imagine them being a high volume seller, even because in part blocks already exist for SBF - many cleveland builds are just based on windsor blocks that dart and world make.

And they are available in cast iron apparently, as well as CGI, and aluminum. I assume the same foundry handles all three castings.

Here are some pics of the cleveland and the foundry that casts them.








This aussie A body won best of show at the biggest annual mopar show with a HP Performance built Gen2 Hemi using the HP block, so when it comes to alu there is also HP along with the others that everyone here knows about.
