Haven't used one but if they had what i needed (4.480 BS) they would have got my money! Everything i've heard so far has been great! And Big Bear (moparts member) is a great guy to talk to!

We have cast a few prototype blocks that are slightly different from what the production ones will look like (not by much but still a little different) We are currently adjusting are tooling and mold making process for those suttle differences. Once we have decided that the tooling is how we want, then we will pour a short run. Once everything checks out, we will continue to pour and hopefully get into full production runs.

Hope this helps

A block that will except the heads with a 4.840 bore spacing. The B1-Ts heads i run are for a bigger bore spacing. Allows for a bigger bore, heads and mine is a taller deck then stock also. Helping with skirt wear when stroking it five inches

It will be very very similar to the kp440 only shorter deck and will also use the 400 distributor. I'm sorry that I can't give you a release date yet. We will still need to build a small inventory and with roush machining them its hard to get any exact dates.


Diablo- don't worry your day will come

That would be cool. That would solve a ton of probs with hood clearance issues.

I guess that could be another one. But for now we'll have to stick with the 400 and see where it goes.

With those kind of numbers you should come up to Milan on one of the heads up Friday night events and show the Outlaw Class what ya got! All that HP out of some 346's, that's awsome! Just think what could be if you turned the wick up on the boost!!!
