COME ON KB!!!! LOL.

Iron hemi blocks, good ones anyway (not world) are stupidly high when ya find them..

Nice new, stronger, repairable, lighter, better cooling, and oiling for just a grand or 2 more..

Who knows maybe they'll sell enough to make them closer in price too.

I don't think they ever had them. If they had them they probably would have filled my backorder.

They are so plentiful, we use them for bracket racing.....lol

For a while, I was like you guys believing they would come back into production. Now, I am going back to being the pessimist I know I am.

The SS/AH guys don't have anything to build new, the street guys don't have anything, and the bracket guys don't have anything.....Hell you can't even get an iron 6.1 block right now....Its not looking too good.....What ever happened to those G1 392 Hemi blocks they said two years ago they would be in production? There goes the Nostalgia class....

Does KB have any on hand yet?

Can't say, I'm still waiting for mine, one is a +.5 deck so it may take longer. I really hope they just put an end to the block sufferings. I have a super nice, as close to perfect as can be, Iron hemi block I'd planned to sell to a buddy, but not until I get my aluminum pieces. May just be too hard to get in the apparent future.
