New 1958ish 392 blocks?

[greymouser7]

Are there parts for this? Aftermarket heads?
I think rusty said a BBchevy, timing chain fits. What else is interchangeable?

There's A New Hemi In Town – Bear Block Motors' 392 Hemi Block

Said it should now be good for 1,000horse power.

Not quite. You can run a big chevy or small chevy water pump, depending on which adapter you use. I used the big block pump adapters on mine and have a big block short pump on it. They will accept a small block Mopar timing chain and gear set. Hot Heads Hot Heads Research & Racing Early Chrysler Hemi Engine Parts has purt near anything you could want for one.

You're going to have to call them. There is nothing on their site about any 392 stuff...

Correct me if I'm wrong, but this press release is dated from 2015.

Everything I've seen online says their iron foundry was/is in Korea.
That's a deal breaker for me

You would think for the money he could give a teensy bit more info on the machining/balancing/parts used in the build. Maybe a paragraph? Half a paragraph?
