The blocks that NHRA ruled against were actual GM blocks.They were cast for them by Caterpillar.Mopar at the time was assigning Mopar P/N's to GM parts in order to make things "legal".I have pictures of Nickens "Mopar" engine in the back of a Dodge truck on a dolly and ones in the Avengers,and they are without any doubt GM engines.
The original version of the B-1 engine(1987-88) may have been Keith Black,but were cast.The later blocks were RJ and C&S made blocks.

The Phoenix blocks had splayed caps like a Chevy block, who they were cast by I have no idea. I do recall the Eicke engine basically being a Chevy engine with Mopar Part numbers.
At that kind of level of power, alot of the engines would end up being very similar anyway. AL....

Just for grins and giggles here is a current Pro Stock block, along with some other stuff. Thought they were cool..BTW note the cam journal size against the main bearing size ![](http://houstontruetens.com/images1/TRL10.jpg) Cams for comparisons sake. Current PS in the foreground, typical roller in middle and a 55mm in the rear. ![](http://houstontruetens.com/images1/TRL11.jpg) How about a crank shot ![](http://houstontruetens.com/images1/TRL13.jpg) New design 99 Hemi valve cover ![](http://houstontruetens.com/images1/TRL23.jpg)

When the starter is on the passenger side and there isn't any distributor hole up front you start to think it might not be a Mopar block.
those are the T/S heads right?
