BBM blocks

According to their BBM website, the aluminum blocks will be coming in January and the cast blocks will be coming soon.

I just talked to Doug and that's what he's told me.
He also said the demand is serious so if you want/need one call him.

'Casting' is a process of pouring a liquid into a mold and, in the case of hot metals, letting it cool and solidify. Either an aluminum or iron block would be 'cast'.

Yes, I saw my mistake earlier but did not correct it because I figured you would know what I meant.

Yep.  I was suddenly confused, and briefly had hopes for a cast, titanium block.  Lets go billet steel for Christmas.

Has anyone ever seen the BBM aluminum block in person. Is this release date in January going to be the first run of blocks??  I know the other block brands changed foundries due to lack of quality. Being the first ones I wonder how good they are.

My advise is get in the Q if you are serious, they will sell out pretty fast when ever they hit the store.
They always do.
The FE is an ever expanding Hot Rod Engine market with a limited and shrinking block supply.

I have built one for a customer.  He told me it was "one of one" but I have subsequently heard that there were a couple more out there.  It seemed to be a perfectly fine part.  This one had a bunch of Dove high riser parts up top and made +/-640HP

I've seen two prototypes. They're nice.

How did it compare to a pond looks wise. Are there any differences between the 2.

Maybe you ask your bud Kirkham to whittle you one out.
