speedmaster new 302 block?

[rednotch]

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.
