So my 500 stroker has a crack in cylinder #3 and taking in water like the titanic. Needless to say I am in need of a new block, what's the options these days and the pros and cons of them? I am thinking 572 wedge!

Mopar Muscle (print version, current JUNE ed.) has a write-up on the Muscle Motor block.

There is nothing advertised on their website? Checked a couple other forums, 1 guy ordered one last summer and was told he will have it this spring. I wouldnt call that readily available....

MM has been known to do that...that's why im so scared to pay someone to build me a engine...Don't laugh, but that Tom Nelson who builds 2k HP engines he told me he would take 3 years or more to build me a HEMI blown...he said he would build it, dyno it, tear it down, rebuild it and one final dyno...heard so many negative opinions on engine builders its like I mind as well build it myself if it blows I know what I did and rebuild it...

My friends 605 HEMI took 2 plus years to build.....

MM has now their wedge/HEMI block dual setups....
