Dumbo The Flying Elephant

Showing my age. I was asking a few vendors if they had any aluminum Gen 3 Hemi blocks, for a racer in need. The representative said he never knew that MOPAR made a Gen 3 Hemi aluminum block, but he will check and get back with me.

Got interviewed today about the race but I don’t think it was for local television.

Another dry hole for us Gen 3 racers no support.

Larry, you probably already know this but I will say it anyway. My aluminum block came from Arrow Racing Engines. I don't think it's called that now since Lee Carducci retired and they may have gotten rid of all of their blocks. Just a thought.. Wanted to pass it on.... Phone number I have (248) 852-5151......

A lot of the Arrow Racing assets also went to Prefix.

Arrow is know known as Prefix (248-650-1330)

They show the block as sold out.

Didn't the Don Schumacher team have a sh_t ton of those blocks?

Frank Castros · 05-26-2022, 07:14 AM

How about the Southland/Tueton group?

Larry Hill · 05-26-2022, 08:10 AM

Larry Hill · 05-30-2022, 08:38 PM
