Question? Who makes replacement blocks for all the b/rb guys.........answer:NOBODY
I have a 440 shortblock with a forged crank for sale at 375 dollars and can't even get one hit. Who needs replacement blocks when you can't even sell original equipment. 
Good price, but that block has the same flaws, not strong enough, as the one I have. Don't need another one.

If they had a decent crossbolted BB made they would probably sell 10 of them. 10 people are still dumb enough to throw wheel barrows of cash at something that on a good day MIGHT make 775hp with 14.1 CR and .800 lift cam because the ultimate cylinder head available flows 370 at .800 lift. HUGE market potential. W9/R3 stuff is sweet but you may as well build a fricken Cup engine.

I just get frustrated by people thinking we need another Wedge block. We have PLENTY. The Gen III is where its at RIGHT NOW, you have drag racers loving them and an entire market of new Mopar gearheads with 2006 and newer hot rods that are putting blowers and turboes on by the 100's. One example, take ANY Charger RT from 68-71 and put it against my wifes 2012 Charger RT and I can promise you will see nothing but tail lights of my wifes car. Things are a changing guys.

If I knew the issues were fixed for sure I would have one. With the good small block heads avalible now I would take advance of the weights breaks given to the small block guys. I think it's a better platform
1970 Duster
Edelbrock headed 408
5.984@112.52
422 Indy headed small block
5.982@112.56 mph
9.42@138.27
Livin and lovin life one day at a time

ANY charger from 68-71? Is your wife's car stock?
I understand what you're saying about the gen 3's. New technology, light
weight, strong blocks & great heads, but racing my bro's 08 6.1 Superbee against his 69 4 spd R/T (517 gen 2 Hemi), I was over 2 seconds & 13 mph behind at the stripe. Still, for under 400 cubes, the 6.1 is a street beast.
