Darren Beale Tim Banning Victor Bray own controlling shares. Mrs Black and Ken Black also own shares.

And the negateeers have raised their ugly heads. Thank you Mr. Barton for letting us know the status. Hope it won't be your first and last visit.

A very positive thing!

So is this the new mis information site for the mopar world? What the hay.

Maybe KB should of just went away and there would be no new blocks and no hope for the ones waiting.

People need to stop _itching and let it all play out.


Here is a good question....

Is there anything on paper that says the people left in the dust by KB prior to the sale are in any legal position to receive a block or is this a good faith gesture of the new owners?

Yes I reposted who owns it and stated it isnt KB.. as to
what the other guy said

I love how we can make such a Mopar legend unwelcome, and his information unappreciated. Thank you sir, for what you've done for our hobby, and letting us know blocks are getting where they need to, and they don't suck.

We will all know soon enough how this is gonna play out. So let's not alienate some of our best known suppliers unless and until they earn the beatings that Moparts is famous for dishing out.

Yea, even the Pope wouldn't stand a chance on here.

Isnt that the truth

Ok
KB is owned by the above mentioned names. Ray and myself are dealers. The decision was made to send Ray the first block off the line so that he could verify all specs and parameters were being met. Ray has the equipment to verify all quality specs are being met. As a fellow dealer I completely support this process of second checking.
The new ownership has been running the show for barely 90 days and Ray has the first of many blocks that will be leaving in the next several weeks. Yes the back ordered blocks are being handled as soon as possible but every block off the line cannot go to just the back orders ONLY. I should have my first one here very soon and I like Ray am going to comb it over very carefully to insure that all quality parameters are being met. I will not sell anyone a block I do not have full faith in.
This is a Block of the highest quality and they take time. I have tried to explain to everyone here the steps being taken to get this back on track. Like most things in life worthwhile it is hard and it will take some time. I know that people with deposits in place are anxious about the situation and with good reason. A lot of these back order situations were NOT cut and dry.
There is great progress being made and Rays post only confirms that good things are happening and more are coming rather quickly. Thank you to all the people here for your positive comments and to the customers already in line, there is a light coming and it is not the train coming to run you over.

This is great news but please for the love of god make
SMALL BLOCKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Sasquatch, have you caught any flak for becoming a dealer for KB blocks while also being a dealer for their competitor?

That's awesome Ray,, great to see you on Moparts. Just ignore the cry babys.

Thanks for giving us this new info. Wishing you a profitable Mopar experience with them.

Thanks Todd.. I hope it goes well for you and
Ray.. and the company

Awesome stuff, big names involved now, I am saving my coins.

It's comments like this that make me wonder why anyone would want to share information on the board.

Thank you RBRE for updating everyone on the KB Blocks

Whoever commented about me getting flak.....In a word NO. I was completely honest with Darren and Tim and they understand completely. I sell Both kinds and so does Ray. I sell 5 different brands of heads and 3 or 4 different brands of pistons. Same with many other products. I tell the customer the facts as best I know them and let the chips fall where they may. I have two Indy blocks shipping from Indy tomorrow and three from KB when they are ready. That is what the customer requested and I try not to argue with people writing me large checks. Again thank all of you for the kind words.

As far as the Small blocks go ahhhhh don't hold your breath. It could happen I guess but I spoke with Darren about it awhile back and the amount of capital it would take to do a block from scratch would be STOUT. Not sure you could ever make that financially viable anytime soon. The Gen 3 on the other hand is a different matter but IF it happens it will not be anytime soon.

WOW, were you born a world class a-wipe, or were years of practice responsible for your rise to the summit???

Great news for the Mopar world!!!

Exactly why many people no longer post or share info. I'm stoked that Ray and Todd have kept us updated. Please keep the info coming.
