Can't get through, so emailing Ken. Any news on how things are tracking at KB? lead times etc? Hope everyone is well in mopar land. Darren

Been a lot of understandable frustration from people still waiting for what they paid for way too long ago. I want a KB low deck water block, but the risk of never seeing what i paid for is too great. End those annoying Infolink ads with AdBlockPlus https://adblockplus.org/

If you have the coin, Noonan Race engineering are doing a water jacketed billet Hemi block. No idea what they're worth though, but I imagine very $$$ Alan Jones

Will look into the Noonan block tho. Cheers, -------------------------------- Darren Beale Keith Black Racing Engines®

They are excellent machinist that breath, eat and sleep mopar all day long and will deliver the goods when they say they will. Your BEST bet. Dwayne Porter is also good and thorough with his work and products.

Listened to all the same BS listed (blocks at caster, no sleeves, blocks not at caster, won't pass quality test) Did get down payment back luckily placed on credit card. Ordered Indy block. Ken is the nicest guy but I would never get involved with him in any way!!
