I called my warehouse today about a Dart Big M block for customer build on big inch Chevy--they had two deck heights in 4 bore sizes with two main cap material choices IN stock Free delivery starting around $1600 and..USA made--My parts dealer drop shipped from one of their other warehouse direct to my customer for FREE I have had lots of fun with Mopars and raced one for over 20 years but I am racing a Chevy now in my vintage front engine dragster-- Mopar was fun while it lasted

OK OK IF KB has a 9 month waiting list with deposits he need to walk in the bank with those orders, Borrow enough money to buy more equipment and hire more people and fill those orders and make some money like a real business would. Since they have not I can only conclude that the REAL market for that product can be met with the system that is in place thus..the REAL demand for a quality Mopar block is not near what you may think Right??????? And anyone that would buy an Indy POS and put up with that guy is just not smart IMO \

It's sad for sure.
But guys will still continue to bandaid stock blocks along.
PATHETIC. Fiat sucks.

I had thoughts of being able to do a Mopar Stock or Super Stock project before I assume room temperature. After 35 plus years, seems kind of silly to even consider that at this point. Even a decent Chrysler based bracket/super class deal seems like a big PIA anymore. Why beat your head against the wall or use patched up, hand me down parts?
Thanks for nothing, Tony.
If the results don't match the theory, change the theory.

I called Indy the other day and Russ Flagle got on the phone. Boy was that an eye opener. I asked him about their Indy blocks and availability and options that they do for their customer. He asked me if Indy was going to do the build for me. I said no, just want to buy the block and a few of their inhouse modifications and told Russ I will assemble it myself. He hung up on me. I talked to those ass clowns years ago and wanted to reach through the phone and strangle em...........no class, rude as hell and think they`re the only gig in town......

Someone of Facebook said they were making the Gen 2 Hemi blocks again. Anyone hear any rumors of them bringing them back? No telling how much they would be this time around if they did make more.

I'm glad, I insisted on 4.040, on my R1, 1994 59* block. Unless there is a catastrophic rotating failure,@62 years young, I think I can make it to retirement, before going +.030.

There's gotta be some one/company/entity keeping more Mopar aftermarket blocks from being produced. There's a demand for a product. Is it the lack of interest,cost of manufacturing, design limitations, what...? No there isn't enough interest in this stuff. Fiat knows that and they are killing off 90% of the performance line. Just go back and read the threads from this year alone....cross bolting noncrossbolt blocks, caps, girdles blah blah blah. Chrysler guys almost NEVER spend money on blocks. I can say why but I won't. I've been on the aftermarket block deal for DECADES now. I usually don't say much about it anymore. I just gave up. Much like telling guys they SHOULD dyno their engines EVERY time. Always. Just so you know where you are at. Then I get called a crook and am told I just need to pay for my dyno. I don't see any change in the future, unless it's for the worse.
