Anyone use one yet.
I probably went over my head using the KP block for a lower HP combination, but knowing the strength of the block to go bigger at a later date is reassuring. right now the engine is at 695hp with more head work, bigger manifold,and carb it should go well over 800hp

We do all of the machining for these blocks were I work. These blocks are remarkable for us Mopar guys to be able to finally buld some real horsepower.
Big Bear,
I have spoken with Tim K. on a few occasions to try get one of these RB or Hemi blocks for my twin turbo Challenger project that I am building for the Milan Heads Up Races.
Well I think I figured out where you work lol....... but are you in the same department as Tim?That would be sooo cool to see one of our blocks in your car! Next time when we are up there in (Motor City that is) we will have to have Tim set something up. We are truely blessed to have him on our stuff, I can't tell you how may times we have caught him at home or on vacation ect and he is ALWAYS willing to help us out. There are some really great people up there and it definatly makes that ENORMOUS bill just a little tiny bit easier to pay
Yes, I work in the same bldg as Tim in the Machine Shop/Engine Build bldg. You guys/Tim used one of my OEM 440 blocks I had in the shop to get some answers on dimensions & machining specs on several occasions.
O ok, thank you for letting us use it! Are you planning on going to Norwalk?

No problem, as it sat around here for a long time. I just finally got that one back together for my Charger.
Definitely leaning towards a Koleno block for the Challenger project. I have a windowed alum Keith Black Hemi block right now that I need to repair in order to use this one someday.
I don't think I will be making it to Norwalk. I do plan on going to the Mopar event at Milan this Saturday though.

We definatly dont want you to blow up that stocker but it should make for a decent back up!
