THE BLOCK, by Muscle Motors

[biomedtechguy]

A high content of nickel

I'm glad to hear that if it is accurate.
Originally they were touting a higher % of copper than usual, saying that would aid in cooling. I was concerned that additional copper could cause strength issues from a materials used-not design standpoint.
Looks great!
I haven't figured out why Muscle Motors didn't keep these "in house"? In other words why they didn't sell something that they developed and put out the big announcement, including in Mopar Collectors Guide magazine.
I'm sure I'm missing something if anyone can clue me in....

Glad to see they have got things rolling along I could not get enough straight facts to make my decision so I went with a Keith Black aluminum block.

Heads up for anyone looking to buy a block or engine from Muscle Motors....We put 10grand down for a Hemi in January of 2017. Over the phone Mike told us he had blocks in hand. Once we got to their shop to check things out he then changed his story and said he had blocks on order. He spec'd us a 426 based Hemi and had no problems taking the money down. Here it is August 2018 and we still have no engine.

Didn’t they close up shop?

They were open when we went there in January. Never called or emailed to let us know about closing up.

From Facebook:
Muscle-Motors Racing We never stopped. Just downsized. We still answer the phone M-F if we are at the shop and not taking care of our ederly parents.

I will post the final tune results of the dyno #s when its back on the dyno after the headers are built and with the new Quick Fuel 1050 carb, we ordered for it... magic # should be around 800 plus hp from what it dyno @ with a shitty set of headers on and the carb I had on it (Holley 2circuit 1050) .. tried a DragRace Quick Fuel 1050 on it as a swap and picked up 35hp without even tunning it..losing some hp as the motor was built for NOS... hang tight we are getting there

if your budget allows check out the Gen 3 Holley Dominator truly a badass setup
