Well there are low deck options out there for sure. Indy and KB have been mentioned already. I have a KB low deck in my heap. There are NO options in low deck iron. Is there a market, probably, will they buy it, maybe. It certainly is an unfilled void in the Mopar aftermarket block arena, so if I were looking to sell more product I think I would look to the untapped areas.
As I am sure you are well aware in business if you dont have marketing you will not sell a lot of product. Word of mouth only goes so far. My best example in the Mopar aftermarket would be Indy Cylinder Head. You see post after post here about how these guys are rude to customers and so on. Yet go through the pits at a Mopar event and tell me what you see, Indy this Indy that. They have a very good marketing machine and people know who they are. Heck pick up any Mopar rag out there and thier name is plastered all over it. Good or bad anytime thier name comes up it is an advertisement for them. If you want to move product people HAVE to know who you are and what you can do for them. Froom what I have heard you blocks are very nice pieces. But unless folks know they are out there they may end up going the route of Brewer heads. I hope it does not hapopen and with you all the luck in the world but Mopar guys are a fickle bunch for sure...Just my
Thanks

Bear, I think the dual pattern is a good idea. It opens up more options, more potential sales. The arrival of conversion bells is great, but adds some $600 to build cost. The savings there alone is another selling point to me. The support components(heads,rotating assemblies,valvetrain) have all outgrown the stock block. I knew you were thinking of bringing a new product to market, I hope this is it.I wish you the best of luck in whatever you decide.
So thats the hipe of having the dual bellhousing.Don't you have to carve up the chevy bellhousing for the starter to fit?
Thanks alot for you input, it really does help

If you do this will CGI be a option?
thanks, bob
Probably not, CGI would require special patterns and machining tools, and I don't belive enough people would shell out the dough to make it worth while.
Thanks for aking though
