I was wondering if anyone has gotten one of the new KB blocks and if so when did you order it? I ordered one from Ray Barton in November 2017. Seems like it should be getting here by now but I haven’t heard any talk of anyone getting one yet.

I ordered mine from Tim Banning at FHO (For Hemis Only) in April 2017 and had it sent to his shop for prep work, it arrived about 6 months after I ordered it. Not sure what the time frame is now.

Hey Road Rat,
Did you ever get your block? My experience was incredibly painful and still going through it a year later. Got it after a year and now its going back to have the align bore done properly. Apparently in 2019 when they were manufactured, the 50 blocks they were able to do did not machined correctly aside from also screwing up on the sleeve size. No one online is actually sharing any of this stuff. Also if you do you have a block manufactured in 2019, they may not say Keith Black on them. They were in a legal battle for the naming rights...my block is absolutely blank, with the exception of a B on the main caps...they removed the K. I cant speak to the actually integrity of the block itself because its still not completed though Im questioning the integrity of the company. You definitely roll the dice when you consider buying one.
