Nice. Now if the come up with a Hemi block I would be interested for one.
 
If it's real, as described, they'll sell a ton of them!
It's the Mopar premium that's kept mopar guys building stock blocks.
(I can buy an assembled all-forged 540 bbc aftermarket short block for less than the price of a bare bbm aftermarket block)
 
Nope... i have had their ad in the top of my old toolbox for like 30 years... it's basically **** :)

Does Stage V still make hemi heads for 440 blocks?
Actually they are owned by
For Hemis Only
"now Stage V heads", they still have a website too,
they are no longer in Walnut California either
They are in Clearwater Florida now
they still had the 383 Hemi Conversion Intake manifolds on the site
so I'd assume they are still selling conversion heads

there was an article for/from Hot Rod Mag 2023
Hemi Head Elephantitis; - Bolt On Hemi Heads for a 440
sorry I didn't save the link

It would be nice if they produce them.
They were proposing this on the forums getting feed back like 25 years ago.
 
I spent an extensive amount of time today talking to 440 Source about the new block and here's what they told me.

1 .Block will be cast and machined in China (I am okay with that)

2. Price is not set in stone yet, but they are hoping to target around $3500 at this time.

3. Block will be cross bolted

4. They are projecting it will support 1800-2000 HP

5. At this time they think the first 50 will be available in December.

6. If interested in one they are compiling a list of prospective customers and will call them in the order received when the blocks are ready for sale.

7. I got on the list

8. They are currently working to expand the available line of 4.500" bore pistons.

That's about the long and short of the conversation.
