Muscle Motors New Block

Has anyone got there hands on one of these blocks yet? Are orders still being taken?

bump....anyone?????

i may be getting a low deck wedge, pending reviews

My short block is getting finished up now. Might be done by end of next week.

I picked up my block on Monday. It looks great, a very nice piece. They really put alot of thought into it.

That's good to hear!! When you have a chance post some pictures of the block.

Thanks,

I guess this is old news but I just saw it recently...

Bill at Chicago Connection is selling these also.

How much more do these weigh over a stock block?

Mike at MM said with a 4.50 bore they are about 305 lbs.

So... around 60-65#s heavier than an OEM 440 passenger car block?

Well....... maybe a photo?

Yikes!

Hopefully i did this right, there should be some pictures.

Nice! (Yes, the pics showed up)

What's left to do machining-wise before it should be ready to start assembly?

I'm new to adding photos. but here ya go.

Mine is a standard bore block, which is 4.25". I haven't gotten to weigh it yet. When i do I'll post it.

I'm not totally sure, but definitely bored to 4.35", maybe a line hone, and deck for flatness. Dropping it off tomorrow.

with the oil galley being flush with the front cam journal can you get the pipe plug all the way in flush with the threads so as not to interfere with the timing chain? or does it use a different kind of plug.

Anyone know what the low deck version weighs ?

That block looks plenty beefy! I'll have to get my hands on one someday for a killer build.

That looks like a nice peace I also would like to no the weight of the short deck version also how will these be compared to the New Keith Black blocks. Good to see blocks being produce again

That's exciting stuff....Hope the product is successful!

I'm ordering one! Thanks for posting the pic's!

Ok just figured out an extra thing to wish for in an aftermarket block - how about the option to use a SB bell housing pattern

It's great that they make a lo deck 4.24 bore, this is the way to go for NHRA Super stock 383 engines, the Hod Rod article said the price was 3,800, is this correct.

Or a chevy bolt pattern

correct

Mopar Muscle this month also said it starts at $3800 with the 4.25 bore. I think it was something like $150 or about that much more for the 4.49 bore block. And I believe its comes standard with billet steel main caps with ARP studs. Ron

Don't see that being too popular!

Looks Good !!

Thanks for posting The pictures Look's like a winner.

I will stay tuned.

Looks nice. Are they only doing Cast Iron?
