any guesses on price? I'm guessing over 10k.

Obviously if your looking at something of this nature your not worried about being politically correct, just want to go faster.
Sweet piece and the price isn't out of line, I guess, but with a complete 6.4 long block available running around 9 grand this would make it a tough decision which direction to go unless you have all the guts for that RB block... just sayin

looks to be several pieces
not just one piece of billet
look at all the welds in the top & valley of the block
$16k wow
speed is expensive,
especially if you want to go really fast
750+hp & go sub 9 seconds in the 1/4 mile
in a MoPar & have it last any period of time at that level
how fast do you want to go ?
--------------------------------------------------------
you can get a 500+ cid, proven tried & true, complete race prep 800-900hp BBC
single 4bbl, aftermarket block & great flowing heads for $16k,
632cid 1500hp N/A dyno'd billet with 450cfm heads, complete for about $30k

40% (maybe 45%) at best for just the block
alum. weight vs cast iron weight
IF all things were equal
maybe more compared to w World Block,
they are about 100#'s heavier, than many aftermarket Iron block

I'm guessing the several pieces welded together make up the water jacket.
But well out of my price range of $2,500.

Geesh! I was thinking that the Indy Maxx Aluminum blocks were pricey, but still in my realm of possibility...
I admire the apparent strength and engineering of this block, but it's obviously for the hard core Mopar racers...
