I have a World hemi block, not together yet, but it didn't need anything special during machining other than replacing the main studs. Other than that, it was/is a nice piece.
Honestly, I don't care if the new ones are made in China. Obviously I'd prefer it not be, but whatever. Just another block being available to purchase is a good thing. They all need to be checked out and machined anyway. That made in China part won't bother me near as much as the made in North America price it will no doubt have...  Kevin

Follow the link.....http://www.theengineshop.com/news/51/BMP_Takes_Over_World!.html Bill Mitchell sold the cast iron line and kept the aluminum line. I don't believe the "made in China" thing. It's just ignorant talk. PBM makes the World cast iron blocks now, IN THE USA! http://www.pbm-erson.com/Catalog/World%20Products/Blocks_WPR.

Glad someone here found the stud thing before it got too far. Damon
