New Hemi Block from Jason Line

[Endangered Species]

Just seen this on Facebook. I think it's the old BullDog casting. From what I've read, Wescott has them in stock. I'd be curious what other configurations you can get it in. I'm sure it's not cheap... right now there is no such thing as a cheap block.

I saw this too..I sure hope they offer a wedge configuration...

It has that beefy, square outer cylinder corner "look".

You have a link other than Facebook ?
I don't/won't do facebook

I found LinePerformance too, but it's all facebook crap also
or old **** about Jason's P/S career, nothing about the blocks

all I could find is facebook crap
& nothing about Charlie Westcott &/or the Hemi JLine blocks
sort of strange, people do that ****

I flipping HATE Facebook, but that’s how everyone does business now. All the racetracks around here only put current info out on Facebook.

You can purchase the 440 block as well as the Hemi block from Line performance. The blocks are currently out of stock. I am waiting on a 440 block.

@Endangered Species

did you ever get that block ?

how much ?

inquiring minds want to know

if you did ?
how did the machinist like it ?
waas there a lot of extra work needed,
like
lifter bores sleeved, decks straightened, need final bore/hone, line hone ? etc.

if you didn't ?
have they corresponded with you, on when or if it will be there ?
or are they even still available ?

I talked to Jason at PRI for over an hour. He already builds a Billet Chevy block. Definately a very tallented guy. I don't think you'll see any issues with this block. The Chevy piece was a work of art.

Bill Mitchell has his "circa 2019" redesign aluminum Wedge and Hemi blocks as well, in 2 bore sizes, the larger being 4.50, the Wedge that I bought.

a 4.5 inch hemi block / new
seems like the norm OUT OF STOCK if you want one you better get it when one comes up

 

[not so famous bob]

well folks just paid 6,700 without shipping for a 4.5 inch hemi block / new
seems like the norm OUT OF STOCK if you want one you better get it when one comes up

Currantly ?? How much machine work does it require ??

 

[steve maluk]

block has been in storage has that coating on entire block used for storage
have a rotating assembly coming from scat total 4.5 bore 4.25 stroke 540 cubes
normal machine work to machine shop to smoke over
block measures actually around 4.48 inch shop will hone to size / check lline bore normal machine work this is my first hemi and a lot of chedder to go with it

 

[biomedtechguy]

Not being a machinist, I can only pass along what I have been told by my builder who has done a number of the redesigned BMP aluminum blocks, and the several stories, not posts, but actual articles, on those "new" blocks.
Absolute minimal, as in bringing the 4.49 sleeves out to 4.50. Nothing compared to the company that has been an exclusive Mopar Nation aftermarket provider that had a change of ownership a few years ago, which made the multiple nightmare stories from experienced Mopar builders all that much more disturbing.
I had my own 3rd party experience with Bulldog, on behalf of one of their clients. I'm glad I didn't go that route, but I have no recent experience with anyone but Bill Mitchell.

 

[steve maluk]

talked with Bill M personally he gave me good advice on rotating balanced assembly (scat) assembly - on order

Is it a J-Line Hemi Block ?
like described by the OP
or some other aftermarket block (unnamed) you paid $6700 for

 

[steve maluk]

is 6,700 to much ????

 

[Budnicks]

is 6,700 to much ????

not if you need it

cost is relative, everything is more money today
like 20% or more, shipping too, every aspect of our hobby now
