I've heard of a few guys getting them. We'll see when they start to show up with no flaws. Hopefully they do.

I would hope their QA is better than their proofreading

When they show up? How old is that web page? Says "Aluminum block available late 2018." Are the iron blocks out? Whats the scoop Betty Boop?

I just inquired and was told 6-8 week lead time
Better than never, I guess.

Any idea on how good/strong these really are?

This is the block that MM was involved with......”The Block”.
There is a hemi going together locally that will be using one.
It was delivered right at the 8 week time estimate.
I don’t think there are enough examples that have been built into high HP motors(900hp+) in use yet to get a good sense of just how strong they are.

As they say... hind sight in 20/20.
I was offered the chance to "get in" for 5-10 of these Blocks awhile back, but alas age, time, and just plain wanting to slow down dictated otherwise ?
that said...
from the conversations I had back then I remember hearing all the right things from my limited engineering knowledge regarding the Castings themselves that I was not at all worried about the "product" itself ?
As Dwayne has basically indicated.... time will tell ?
I think Tim Banning over at FHO has used them quite successfully already ?
Maybe give Tim a shout if anyone's curious ?

Between "street" HP continually going up, decent original blocks getting harder to find and those becoming more costly, I would think the universe of people interested in a good aftermarket block would be going up. I hope they are decent and enough money in it for Bulldog, or whoever, to continue.
