KB Racing gets a new owner, new tooling for the Hemi blocks, and relocates to South Florida!

I'm so glad to see Keith Black back in operation and making engines again. I worked for Keith black up in South Gate, right out of high school in the 1980's milling billet aluminum crank shafts. I always came home covered in aluminum chips. The old Italian milling machine I worked on used to break its mounts to the floor and dance around the room until you could dive for the stop button and turn off the mill. A little scary but the guys seemed to enjoy it. Glad that machine is gone. Good luck to the new Keith Black.

Hard to believe a crank would be made out of aluminum.

Thank God for dedicated Hemi men like Tim.

Nice operation they have there. Glad to see that KB is back going strong.

I enjoy working on Mopars, Hemi engines are legends. My classic Dodge daily driver is a 318 engine with lots of miles and still going strong.

Im currently working on one of these blocks. It is very nice. Mr Banning is a very helpful person.

Donovan was the first with the 392 and I believe Milodon was the first with the 426 aluminum block, but maybe I'm wrong.

Milodon vii litre was the first aluminum 426 hemi

Keith Black and Bob 'Turk' Tarozzi are Mopar gods... So much history so much passion for the sport. One of the main reasons why the 426 Hemi is the king.

I really hope that high-pitched harmonic coming out of the CNC machine is happening during an early op instead of a final cut 😬

Want the low deck Hemi

Go watch Rick Seaman's videos on his KB Hemi build. He says the dowel pins for the heads are off by .006" and the stock 426 Hemi used Ø.246" dowels instead of the more common Ø.250" used on his KB block. Maybe get a set of production drawings from Chrysler if they will sell them to you.

I'd like to know the particulars of that Pro Stock looking street engine. That would be badass in a Pro Street car with two Holley Dominator looking throttle bodies sitting on top of that intake. A throttle body fuel injected Pro Stock replica engine that is mild enough to drive on the to street, but looks strip only when the hood is off at a car show.

I mean whats a complete engine going to cost? Sounds awesome but when you can get a new Hellcat, not including wiring, etc, for $15k and get 700hp why would you spend another $10-$20k for the same amount HP. I’d love to have one. I like the idea of an aftermarket wedge block again. I hope he does great and can stay afloat.
