RE: 400 Thick Main Block

["Earl H. " <earlh@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

 Dave,

Thanks for the info. So for a bracket racer or a very warm street 
rod I would say the thick web 230's are still a bargain if you want 
one of the strongest stock blocks ever built.

World has about the same thing as KB in aluminum. What we really 
need now is a new manifold to work with the heads that are out. 
Unless you use an Indy everything else is inadequate. I hope Edelbrock 
builds a new Victor manifold to keep up with the flow of the new 
Victor heads.

Earl

Earl, go to worldcastings.com There's a big picture of their new Mopar HiPo
block.It ain't cheap though!!!$4500 for an iron block and $4300 for
aluminum.440Source should have their RB blocks here by the end of the
year.Retail on those should be around $1600.

I'm with you on the 230 blocks.It seems guys are willing to step up to a new
block rather than mess/modify an old one though.
