426 Hemi engine's: Is this the end of them being made?
« on: May 10, 2015 - 08:09:52 PM »
Hearing more and more members here saying they can't get a Hemi block.
5-6 months ago it stopped?

Only one foundry I heard was making them.

KB makes aluminum blocks as does Indy, HP was going to but I'm not sure if they are up or not. Just no iron blocks for now.

And they keep saying that the iron ones are coming but the date keeps moving farther away.   :screwy:

Does that affect the 426, 472, 528 Crate engines for availability or just bare blocks?
