Ritter 59 degree iron block

Interesting thread to read..
couple thoughts.

The people who cry that we don't have good blocks will never buy one at any price.

I had a new tall deck 48 degree R3 block for sale for 5 years at a great price and couldn't find a real buyer. Finally found him.

Why would anyone ever build an aftermarket block and ever offer a 59 degree version? The 48 degree setup is the only way to go. That 59 degree setup was a mistake from day one by chrysler trying to take the cheap way out.

Because it's a pain in the *** to change everything over to the 48* stuff and we are talking about Chrysler guys who squeal about spending $1000.00 for rocker arms and think that what came on a 1967 440 should be able to run mid 7's in a 4000 pound car with a 2.73 gear, a 1850 RPM converter all while getting 48 MPG just like the ford and Chevy guys do.

I hope you get my sarcasm but I'm pretty close to the bone on this.
