HHP has blocks that are heavier than the Arrow racing block i got. I think the HHP blocks are around $5500

Thanks, I though Mopar had revised theirs, but who knows. Was yours a private seller or vendor ?

Thanks for keeping us in the loop.

By next this year's Drag Week that car is going to so light you will have to tether it like a blimp in the pits!

Good Luck,
Bill

Pretty sure he might know of somewhere with a small stash of them that are gonna go quick and cheap, or he snagged one from someone used.

I bought it from a fellow moparts member. He went with the new block. I wasnt even going to grab it but my friends talked me into it. What are friends for.

So now Im building a whole new motor. A little more cam. Not much. Im going back with the apache heads because the low lift numbers are just better then my experimental eagles.

Motor is going to get some more compression and drag pak oil pan. Not a huge fan of the milodan pan although I cant say I had any problems with it
