Thanks for the reply. I saw that but it seems like nobody has stock right now.

As always. They seem to be available from someone....for about 2 weeks, then...POOF! Wait for years.

 

[SSjunkie]

Yes, that seems to be the case!!

My buddy is a parts guy at our local dealer.....he told me right out that Jegs and Summit always buy all the stock of parts so the dealers struggle to get anything. Anytime I ask him to look, its on national backorder. He said just go to Summit and order it. Stupid if you ask me. Dealers can't even get the parts they are manufacturing haha!

I'm a die hard Mopar fan, but dealing with the MP supply chain is really frustrating!!
On a side note, I'm also considering aluminum as well. Anything I should watch out for in a street/strip application?

For the price of that ebay block, $600 more aluminum block would be a better deal.MO

 

[SSjunkie]

Thanks for the info. I bought my Super stock hood scoop off of you approx 2 years ago lol. I'm really looking at the aluminum block route hard right now. KB is a bit out of my price range as I'm dealing with Canadian Pesos! Anybody had any experience with Indy or Bill Mitchell aluminum blocks?

I’ve used both on prior builds with good results. This will be the most power I’ve put on either one when it hits the dyno this spring.
