I sure hope it’s nicer than the crap heads they are sending out the door. Pretty bad when you can buy a Chinese copy and it’s 10 times nicer.

The casting were CRAP and I mean crap on the last set I bought. I did a post comparing a ProMax Head and an Edelbrock Head on Moparts with pictures and flow numbers from my bench. Th ProMax quality was way better and the flow numbers were too and I’m not talking a few cfm.

They probably have a deal with NHRA to produce LEGAL NHRA S/SS blocks for competition. Does Edelbrock pour cast iron? I think they just pour aluminum. I don't think NHRA would approve aluminum blocks for Stock and SS.

They have the foundry skills and the machining skills. Now all we need is for them to have the want to.

From what I’ve seen, they sure look like the Brodix iron blocks.
No idea where they actually come from though.

No idea where they actually come from though. They are supposed to be the same , Blueprint also , was a discussion on yellowbullet a couple months ago . There must be a market for St/SST racers let alone bracket racers and even just street guys . Even a iron block with just cross bolted mains as a standard upgrade would be a good thing . Here in Oz a guy was advertising a stock 76 440 for nearly $4000 . Bare blocks are around $2000 . Tex

No idea . Have to find someone bringing a container in , then add 10% gst
Not really enough demand here , chryslers only had small blocks here
A lot say they want a bb not many do , far less race them

Was just wondering that’s all. About $2-400 Aud depending on who and where it's being shipped from too. East Coast of the US is usually a little more expensive. I had some R5 blocks, cranks etc shipped from Indianpolis, it was $400 per full crate. As Tex eluded, you'll go broke trying to make money on BBM guys over here, there just isn't many of them really. A lot of Small Block and Hemi 6 stuff mainly

PBM blocks are basicly the Brodix blocks...Brodix did make PBM make engineering changes to the blocks before they would sell them. From what I've heard, they are good for the money and better than Old iron, rated around 700-1000HP.
I'll bet those are what everyone's running unless Edelbrock is casting all new, which is $$$ so I'd be surprised to see that but ya never know!

I’ve heard they were in talks with mopar about the R3 core boxes but I’m not sure how far that went You would think that would be a win win for both companies. Fingers crossed it comes true.
