I just bought a low deck Indy Max alum block from Muscle Motors and Mike told me he could not get a KB block right now... They machined everything into spec and bushed the lifter bores. Call Mike at MM to get a price. Cheers, Arnie 67 Cuda 8.48@ 158.7 mph 1.18 60' 2,600 DA(so far...) 70 Super Bee 440 Six Pack 4-speed. 13.2 @ 104 Stock exhaust/Street tires.

I checked them both before deciding on what machining to do and guess what - nothing, nada, no machining required. Line hone was perfect (+ or - .0005), as was the lifter bushings, block height, sleeves and cap clearances. I love KB blocks because I have built so many race engines with them including my own TS motor. Never had an issue that Ken didn't take care of. Great company, but if you can't get a KB - the WP block is my choice.

In Top Dragster I had the #1 qualifier come by my 182pmh at 227mph but my win light came on At IRR in Top Sportsman I was the slowest car in the field and won the race looking backwards every pass. Do you job on the tree and decisions get much easier at the big end!! good luck with your decision Ken, I would opt for #1 but that's just me!! But stay with 24* conventional head, much less top end maintenance and huge power potential.
