OE and Mopar's replacement blocks from the 90's are history, and if you find one people are trying to get stupid money for them. The idea of shelling out $10,000 for a used up almost 60 year old block is insane and is preventing a lot of people from fielding Hemi cars. I really want to build a AA/S out of a 1965 Plymouth I've kept for 30 years just for this purpose, but the block really is a roadblock so I hope this new block gets a look.
So I know that it was DC’s intent for these blocks to fill the S/SS void, however I’m not aware if the acceptance process has been completed as yet. Supposedly DC will also license Callies to issue a LA R-block as well!!!
