Here is what Jegs emailed me on 11-11:

Order ... for part number 312-P5160151AC is currently on backorder and has an estimated ship date of 02/01/2019.

Fine with me, I don't need it right now anyway. Just planning ahead.
And they still haven't charged my card.

Wow, $6100 would temp me on selling my 4.250 bore. But then I’d get stuck with my stock 66 heads and the rest of my hemi parts. Been there once without a block and lots of other parts left over.

Did some digging and found that the same guy who had the Mega block has a Series 2 Bridgeport for $5250. That's a sweet price for a machine that's quite a bit bigger than regular vertical spindle milling machines.

A series 2 would be nice! You could set it up for about every block machining operation except maybe align bore/hone.

It’s the 150 or so leftover blocks of world design that never got machined when Mopar pulled the blocks. My bet is there will never be anymore because the casting part is no longer being done. Just my bet, though.

Where did you order your blocks? I have had P5160149ac on order for most of 2018 with Jegs.

Congrats...this is getting good.

Actually JNB/Fowlerville but who's counting.
As long as people get their parts.

Backwards D with F marking=Dalton Foundry mark, it's cast into the block.

Hopefully I'll know pretty soon my block is currently with my machinist. Excited to get it back and get started if all goes well.
