"X" block Brad.... pretty sure all 9.56 deck. my 9.20 deck didn't bother me. The 9.0 deal does as I'm dry sump stupid. I do have the pump and pan so I guess that's half the battle.

Did you own that block the whole time or bought

but every X block I seen or owned was the 9.56 and
has stock bearings

personally I hope that the r blocks do get produced again don`t see the market being that large because as been stated many times the select few that really want to run hard with a Chrysler powerplant is just that few and far between don't know all the circumstances between kent ritter and his first couple block customers because I wasn't involved in their transactions emails voicemails or whatever form of conversations nor is it any of my business all I can say is there have been great strides in producing the ritter blocks from switching who is pouring them to changes in machining them are they ready to bolt together out of the crate heck no we have a friend with a w9 ritter block ran all summer in pro stick series near us had some minor issues with his block but had it up and running in 3 months time out of his own backyard shop 8.80s all summer long with a stick likes it so well he ordered another just to have it to do for a backup so if any unforeseen thing happens he wont miss any points races kent has even been to the track with him and kept in contact thru the season to make sure all is well as brad said the need for a tall deck small block is there because you just cant squeeze a 4 in or larger crank a 6 in or longer rod and get a decent ring pack in because your compression height will be 1in in a 9 in deck block you will pinch the ringlands as soon as you hit it with anything so sure I hope it happens I would like to see everyone in a mope running 8 50s lol

Not to dog pile on Ritter but ive got a useless R5 to 727 adapter on my shop wall at over $700 thats not even close to working and if it did the holes are so loose id have to helicoil them like he should of.

I went with another vendor for the right part at 1/3 his price, ive not even moderately impressed with his work, just know he commands top money for everything.

So really thats why I posted that if the guy does get it together Id get every single deposit prior to the first pouring.

How many here really need a race based block, how many split blocks do we see posted of a properly built motor?

Very few.


So you never did send me that shipping quote on one of the new R blocks you had. Remember we started communicating in December of last year and the last I heard was in April of this year. At that time you told me you were attached to the X block and would sell me a R block.

I still have all the PM's.

I knew you had the wisdom tooth problems but didn't know about other health problems. When I didn't hear anything back from you I figured something was up. Sorry about your health problems.
