Well lead the way boys where can I find an aftermarket block that's not gonna cost me an arm and a leg ?

I haven't looked too much for one. I think the Indy/Word blocks are around $3,000? Aluminum Block $4,400?
I think the Koleno block is around $3,900? Only place I have seen a price is Koffels $3,895
Mopar P5153860 from Marsh $2,895?

 

[Cranky]

Check out HT413s build going on right now...
IQ52s engine build sounds sweet...

When the HELL are "WE" going to pull that K-member and put in that new system?
Call me...
But dont call me Blondie...
tee-hee-hee...

Don't call you Johnson either!?

DVW speaks the truth. I'm getting my Victors figured out and buying a set of -1's for the next engine. The installed height is a big deal when it comes right down to it. Why do all of these CNC places advertise big flow numbers knowing full well that the heads can't get much more than .730 lift? And that's just the beginning.

To help generate sales maybe........?

I am going E-85 on my 500" stroked 400 too. Just bought a 1050 cfm Quick Fuel 4150 E-85 carb.
The Machine ship called and the #7 cylinder needed a sleeve installed. I hope to have the block back next week.

There are no iron blocks right now. I've heard Koffels has a couple of Kolenos but will only sell them if they do the build. My friend sold his Koleno that was blem this summer for 3K, it was used. There was a mega block on racing junk that was missing the caps for 1K. I'd sonic anything used. There are some good ones and some thin ones. KB takes about 6 months and 7K. That leaves Indy aluminum. I know a lot of people that run them.

look at indy cylinder head price sheet.
You can buy a world aftermarket block, not a reconditioned junk yard block, completly set up and clearanced for your stroker, stroker crank, good rods, 12.5 to forged pistons all for around $5500.00...unassembled...$550 to assemble it.
That setup is good to support 750-800hp, no problem.
Only way to go, i think

 

[Sweet5ltr]

My vote would be move over to a turbo setup. A BW S475/1.32AR would easily make 800HP on pump gas with no exotic parts, well below typical N/A RPM ranges. I have around $4,000 in my rear mount build with an S475, still running near 10:1 CR with Snow Performance Meth/Water injection.

It isn't as easy as installing a Vortech S/C (have one on my other car), but a simple turn of a switch can take you from 7psi-600HP to 14psi-800+HP. I still get around 14 MPG on the interstate running 75MPH. If you need any info on turbo setups, please visit theturboforums.com, they have a mopar dedicated section. DVW is right on the money, well worth the wait for an actual kit if you want to run a SBM.

I would not trust Indy with anything more than supplying parts that need to be gone through. Good stuff - but not as delievered from them. Find a dealer local to you, and work through the dealer.
