For Hemis Only.  Tim Banning.  Ontario(i think) canada (or Canaduh)

you are speaking of the new or recently produced blocks correct?  I know he gets a good shipment and usually has the best prices.

www.forhemisonly.com  Call and leave a message.  He will usually call back in a day or two.  Great guy.

For Hemis Only - the url is easy to guess (http://www.forhemisonly.com/).

I don't know if they have the blocks at this time though. Summit has them on backorder until May 2007. I saw some listed elsewhere last week but they only lasted two days.

Chenoweth Racing (http://www.gearsandrears.com/) sometimes has them and they claim to have Mega Blocks in stock now (yes, I know it's not the same thing).

Sarcasm detector, that's a real good invention.

MOPARHOUND!

For Hemi's Only has one of the best reputations out there.

Mopar is rumored to have yet another foundry lined up to cast the Hemi blocks (be careful, there are some poor castings floating around out there).

World Products is the likely latest foundry/vendor, and are well known for quality pieces.  When they will be available??

Here is a link to a thread with some pic's of one of the initial "rough" castings, with Mopar cast into the side of it:

thanks to you all.

for what it is worth, the block is not for me, but for my machine shop.  My machinist has a chance to build up a stroker hemi for a 69 RR project and asked me to do some research and see if I can find him a siamese block for him to use.  I have been talking to quicktree over in moparts on unlawfl's race subforum.  He has one a '99 casting.  He states that it is in good shape. 

Any idea on the '99 castings as far as quality?

But when will you get it? There's a 9-10 month backlog - longer if you want a water block.

Sorry to correct you but it is "they can get me ONE for".

Won is past tense for winning.

I just got my 528 Siamese hemi from Ray Barton.  I put in my order on 3/3/2006.  And I got a lucky break.  They showed me several defective blocks they need to return.
