Hi everyone.
After a few years of being on hold I am finally getting back into my 69 hemi charger project. Anyways I am going to be ready to buy a engine block very soon and I was looking for information on what block to buy and from who?
I've heard of some manufacturers no longer producing , others hard to get product from ect ect.... So I am hoping someone can set me straight.
I am looking for a 4.5" bore aluminum block. KB, World, Indy, HP Performance, anyone I am missing?
Thank you!

I would order from Todd @ Marsh Performance . That is where I got my aluminum Indy block from.

Call AJ at Bob George racing! Bought my Indy block thru them, and have been happy with their service and pricing.....Don't deal direct with Indy, unless you like hating yourself. Last I heard, they were 4-6 weeks.

The KB blocks are a reality--Call Todd Marsh at 336 283 0800 and get one--John Arruza has several iron blocks new but he is nuts at $6K a pop He sold out everything machine shop and all but has these blocks as you might imagine due to the stiff price BUT he has the only ones on the planet so maybe he is just smart who knows Indy--get a block then spend $1500 or more getting it ready to build --not such a good deal compared to the KB
