New Callies Hemi block

MLP · 04-09-2023, 11:27 PM

I see that Callies is casting a new "Mega" block both in a Hemi and a wedge. I was wondering if this block, which has a "p" casting number and is going to be sold under the revamped Direct Connection is being considered for use as a legal replacement block for S/SS use?

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.
