There is a cross bolted factory wedge 63-64 block forsale either here or on forabodiesonly. I'll take a look, came across it yesterday



Check it very carefully,if it is a real one it's rare as we understand only 50+- were produced.Make sure it's not a after cast custom setup like ProGram or other.We have only seen 2 or 3 and that was long ago.There are a few of the Petty conversions around.I had 6 and the last one was sold to Ron McCelland at Beaverdale Auto.




I bought it here on moparts last week
I should have it back to my place in a couple of weeks to look it over
supposed to be unused
Can't wait to see it

See pics above in this thread

Does anyone now how much heavier the world block is over stock block?

I have weighed several new World blocks, hemi and wedges, they are both 100 lbs. heavier than a stock OEM passenger car 440 or hemi block. IHTHs

So a MP aftermarket block is considered a factory part??



Depends, in the beginning if the part did not add any advantage then it would be allowed.

Other than the blocks capable of being bored to 4.500 there wasn't any difference between a new block or an original block ... other than it was NEW ...

I know you are just
