I'd keep hounding them. I have not heard much good about them in the past couple years. I know I wouldn't be placing an order w/ them right now. I bought my KB block back in 2006...things were a lot different then.

I'm in the same boat. Ken sent me a picture of my block (well said it was my block) being machined on March 7, 2016. I paid the remaining balance and haven't heard a word since. No response to my emails or phone calls.

Called Today got through to Ken and he also email me back too. He said my block will be ready for delivery from the foundry in a few days will have to wait and see if it happens? Thanks for every ones feed back if any one here's any good or bad news please let me know. I heard the "my block will be ready for delivery from the foundry in a few days" for 16 months. Last March it was "your block is being machined, it'll be a couple weeks to get the sleeves and finish it up, please send the balance" I have not had a phone call or email answered since. I've called and emailed almost every day this month. To say I'm pissed is an understatement. I'm at 20 months from ordering and really starting to wonder.

Man I hate to hear this from a company that was once so great. I look at the block recite from my purchase from ken several times a year and thank god I was so lucky to have zero issues with my purchase or delivery. Ken used to stop in once in awhile and I miss that

I should be good for life but I too have highly recommended keith black racing as my block was spot on and only in need of the usual checking and cleaning. The worst part of a deal like this is lack of communication from ken. And that my friend would make me order an indy block if ever in need

And that my friend would make me order an indy block if ever in need I got my KB block back in 2006 and it was/is a very nice piece. Needed very minimal work to put it together and run. I'd always told everyone to go w/ KB over anyone else, but that's sure not the case now. I hope you fellas that have given them money can get something back...whether it be a block or your money. I'd be flying out to Cali. if he had 6 grand of mine!

His phone line is busy right now...Maybe life there after all. Hopefully it wasn't the janitor called for a food delivery.
