Last week I did an Ebay bin on a gen 3 shortblock and then the dude couldn't find it at the Dodge dealership in New Braunfels Tx where it was suppose to be. So I'm hoping someone here may have a block and crank available that I can afford? 05 or 06.
 
I'm confused, how do you lose a block? They are kinda big....
 
You'd be surprised at the **** that disappears at the dealer ships, and you are rt! It all is somewhere at the mechanics houses!
 
The first thing I thought was that he sold it to someone else for more $ but I'm not so sure that's what happened. It was either stolen or sold out from under me for more money. It had some light scratches in one cyl and the bin was 1600. With the heads that JMBJustin sold me I thought I was set to do my motor upgrades and be able to swap my engine fast without the usual down time.

I can honestly say at the dealer I'm currently at nothing disappears.

Thats the reason i just bought a full power train on ebay. I wanna build it so that if anything goes wrong with mine I wont have a long down time.
 
Well SRTBrad came through with a perfect block and crank. I've been busy with my big ass 460 Ford engine (600cid) for my Torino lately but my SRP head studs came in today for my 10. Now I can attach my torque plate and size the cylinders so I can get the pistons coming. This block is so nice it will probably size just .002 over, very cool.
