Anyone know any details on these? China sourced? Why stick with 2 bolt mains, any plans for 4 bolt etc... IDK any thing about them, just noticed it pop up on Google while searching for a block and haven't found any mention of them with a quick search. Fords got the boss standard or bigbore 8.2 bare blocks for under $2200 picked up from dealers now with a promo REDEEM20 on there site,, was checking to see what else was out there when these popped up. Haven't checked the typical China suppliers speed master uses yet to see if anyone's hawking an 8.2 deck, there all normally pushing the 9.5 clone block.

Yeah for $2K I’m not buying a 2 bolt main block but that’s just me.

Here is what is really weird. Was looking at that Boss block and added it to my cart. When I go to select a dealer none in Oklahoma will come up no matter what zips code I use. It’s either Kansas, Arkansas, or Texas. F’n weird man.

Yeah I'm not interested in the 2 bolt main but if there casting an 8.2 in China they probably have a 4 bolt option in the works, Idk why anyone would pay 2k for a two bolt unless its was a repo of a 60's numbers block like the ones being cast in England for a certain race series.. The ford blocks let me choose either local dealer by me, only tried echelon & winner ford, no idea why Oklahoma is a no go. Its 20% off capped at 200 with the code. So under 2200 with tax here for the standard bore..

https://outlawspeed.com.au/shop/af96-1012 aeroflow has it too, so high chance it will be all over China mart soon. The 4.185 bore specs listed and 208lbs dont make sense for a stock replacement 2 bolt 8.2 block though, so be interesting to see one in real life.

The Boss block is 175 lbs with 2,3, & 4 being splayed mains so the speedmaster needs to get on a diet.

That's my point.. If its 208 lb its around the weight of crated iron eagle block... hard to tell from the ty pics they use, hell half the time there pics don't even match the product.. They don't design they just tweak copies of old stuff and with what there retailing them for it means China mart will probably dump them sub $1400 DDP . As is, Idk who would want it in a 2 bolt main unless a class rule speced it but if its a semi decent casting with a 4 bolt option on the cheap who knows.. I just like to keep track of the China junk, some of it ain't half bad for budget stuff.

I did see this from another China white label product seller but could be a different sourced block entirely? 8.2 4 bolt main not in stock...

Blueprint started selling their blocks on Summit now:

It's no Iron Eagle or Sportsman. It looks like an in-between a Sportsman and an OEM block.

Pretty sure that the BluePrint, Summitt, and SHP are all cast at the same foundry in Germany. Out of the three and if I am spending that kind of money I am going with a DART.

Yeah but 7/16" hardware, I'd put on par with an old A4 for strenght but larger bore sizing. for the retail price points from a shop darts better, even the boss in alot of applications. I'm just looking around for cheapy budget and noticed these new 8.2 China blocks lol. There's a guy selling the BP blocks for $1400 used and 1600 new on facebook on 8.2_mafia classifieds out of Lincoln Nebraska, probably has an in with Marshall engines with how many he has listed, seems to have a few.
