I see all the comments about how the Mopar crowd are all too cheap to buy a $3000 iron big block, yet all I remember is even when they were supposedly available, the customers of mine always had to hunt and wait to get one.

If the Mopar crowd was so cheap, the blocks would be sitting on the distributors shelves collecting dust........ yet every one that was ever made got sold no problem.

Mega blocks - gone
World blocks - gone
Koleno blocks - gone

Tex, I didn’t mention “the block” because I believe there are a number of them that are in machining limbo.
If they ever get done and offered to the public, I’m sure they will sell quickly....... unless priced into oblivion.

If the first batch gets finished and sold, and they don’t ever cast another batch........ then those will be added to the “gone” list.

I love the BBM platform....... but it sure has gotten hard trying to build something that will make more power than a stock block will take and still be reliable.

Reading this post is making my head spin. Is there any site or article that describes the various hemi blocks? I know the block in my car has a "-M" designation but don't know anything else about it.

Agreed, in my case what are the ones that Roseville and Sasquatch (Marsh Performance) were selling 1.5 to 2 years ago? Those I understand were Very good blocks?

This month Muscle Motors quoted me just under US$5000.00 machined for assembly . But 8-12 weeks maybe . A real shame as no matter what some TAVO 's? , TACO's ? might say there is demand . Even the class racers must be desperate for a usable replacement block .

If they sell the blocks for 5000.00 I do not think they will sell a lot of them. They need to be around 3 to 3500.00 and they will sell a lot of them.

They have been on back order since May. Make the call and see for yourself. I personally don't think they'll be available for years, if at all but they will call me next week.

When does Jegs charge your credit card? When you place the order, or when they shipped the block?

Must be when they ship the block, as my card has never been charged.

Well running that part number the best news is that it’s not “NS1” (part no longer made). Matter of fact I run that number (P5160151AC) and it has a note at the top: “managed allocation lvl2-part under development for reman, accessories or Mopar Performance, exp Oct 01, 2018

Submitted orders pending...

Source PDC replenishment info: cannot determine, we are working to obtain part availability


None in stock, none at dealers.....

On Jeg's, the 4.24 block has an estimated ship date of November 5 and the 4.5 block is now listed as manufacture's availability date unknown. They had been the listed as the same dates previously.

Wouldn't be surprised to see the 4.24 block listed as unknown at some point.

Well, I ordered one from Jegs. I don't need it right now, I had one on hand I bought years ago that I just got machined. But if they take forever to get, I might as well get on the list so I'm ready for the next one. I got $40 off with a Jegs discount code too.
