The problem didn’t seem to be so much in taking orders........as there was in “filling” orders


Al HAD two on order from two different dealers. One of those dealers was very forthcoming with me and I have since cancelled both of them. I purchased an Indy block(although nowadays you may be in the same boat getting one) and just found another. I have talked to Mitchell and unfortunately for now they are not going to produce what I am looking for, that being a raised cam large cam core block.

Standard cam. 1/2 inch head stud. 4.5 bore hemi. Ordered June of 2018. Arrived first part of October 2019. . It took a while but I knew that going into it. Very happy with what I have checked so far. Waiting for a honing plate from BHJ. I was kept up to date on issues they were sorting out. What impressed me most is they stopped and corrected anything they deemed an issue before release. New KB with refinements.

Who was the vendor?
I am seriously considering trying a hemi for the 1st time. If I can get one within a year, I'll do it.
Running this small block on kill is very time consuming

New KB. Ordered through Bob Mazzolini and worked directly with Bob and Tim Banning. I finally have everything collected but pushrods.

Looks like you are not to far from Ray Barton he is a Dealer or talk to Susquatch on moparts he is a Vender also I believe. You can always phone Tim and FHO but being in the USA a block with likely come out of Michigan.

I don't know why, but suspect that you are not seeing the blocks you or your customers were promised.

Hmm. My grandmother used to watch something like this years ago. She called them her “stories”. They are commonly called soap operas. You never knew who was sleeping around with someone else and there was always trouble brewing somewhere. Lol. Good luck to the parties involved.

Between you, Barton, Best Machine and Mazzolini?

Was going to call you for a block but now I'm not feeling warm and fuzzy.

I can not even remember when the blocks were ordered. I remember the blocks were paid for in advance and that was like Dec. 2017, Jan 2018. There was one guy that ordered a lot of blocks at the same time I think that was 10 raise cam blocks. When the blocks were ordered was told they would be in the first 5 raise cam blocks cast. I do not know the number of what is being picked up. I don't know Sasquatch deal with the blocks or what kind of KB he is looking for. I know everyone has been frustrated over the last two or more years and likely longer because you can not race or build motors if you do not have a good block and access to one quickly. It has been a long process getting these block and from everything I have seen in Blue Print and design the blocks are going to be much superior over other blocks. I know that even a week or so ago one person getting a block did some changes in the machining process and that just might stay and would be done to every raise cam block.
