Do you mean that deal Dale told you about?
If referring to that one, the last batch of Dalton castings eventually did get machined and shipped. JNB Machining out of Fowlerville did the machine work.
They went _quick_, to say the least.
Several big time, highfalutin', world famous engine builder types have been self-taught to maintain backorders in the system for these situations. One local gentleman in this elite group had a few blocks show up out of nowhere from that batch.
There is something potentially positive happening with these......about which I'm currently sworn to secrecy. Hopefully more on that later when I have my facts straight, and won't ruffle anyone's feathers with half-truths.

Hmm. That’s what I thought. Well at least they were produced and sold. Yes, Zippy, I was referring to the ones Dale told me about. I figured they are piled up in all machined in Ray Barton’s place. That’s ok, too. I hate it for the SS guys who are out of blocks and can’t race. Those guys are getting fewer but I grew up with watching those guys and they are much more fun to watch than Pro Stock “ Camaro”. I still have one new world casting Hemi Block right now so if I get done with other people’s builds, I may get to my stuff! Lol!
However, as far as rumors of things to come? I heard that water boarding torture works pretty good. Think we might could meet for coffee, sometime? Never mind my friends in the hoodies driving the black SUV. They won’t bother us!

There is something happening and its good for everyone........... Only for those who can afford a new hemi block...now if they can get down into the 3K range, that would open up a lot of doors to us common folk. Tim

Tim They were at the $3K range for a long time.....Hardly anyone bought any. I got one right thru my local dealer and didn't even have to pay shipping. Now that the supply is less then the demand....
