actually late 60's through the 70's..... my 70 had a service replacement mexican block 302 in it when i bought it. If I would have known about CHP then I would have listed it on here when i sold it for $50

What I meant was the newest one you can get is from the early 70's......

They are fair blocks. I don't recommend one if you plan on making more than 600hp, especially if you have a supercharger. It won't last, but will last longer than a roller block.

If anyone hears of a good deal on a A4, dart, or World 8.2 deck block let me know. I can't use one of the new Boss blocks since the cylinders are to short.
