OK, So you think you know it all huh? Well then take a look

[kryogenic]

At this engine and see if you have the ability to correctly identify it!!!!

Good luck, we have all been unable to figure it out...

(Who is the block maker)

Your help is much appreciated.

Says Keith Black on it... :?

[BEAST477]

It looks Mopar from the oil pump location. The Kieth Black is on the timing cover for the gear drive. Not sure who made the block.

If this is in your possession, then why don't you know? You have 4 posts total, two of which are posting this question twice, and your profile / location is turned off........... are these parts STOLEN? What is the back story? That may help you to get the correct answer more easily. If we knew what class the assembly was for, that may possibly narrow the choices.

Folks im going to respond to Bruce/TopsdpeedLowet's questions accusations first:

1) I never said it was in my posession, so where you got that from I have no idea.
2) I surf RacingJunk for parts to purchase for my hotrods 99.9 percent of the time. I dont really care for reading forums much so I dont have that many posts. Since you apparently think you are "Smart" enough to assume because of my lack of posts im a theif, you might want to look how long I have been a member of racingjunk. I have purchased quite a lot of items from folks on here, and im sure they could vouch for me.
3) I havent bothered to set up my profile specifics because like I said before, I dont read forums much. I'm not even sure where the option is...
4) The backstory of the engine should have nothing to do with being able to identify what kind of engine it is, but since you think that will bring the answers to light ill be happy to give the little bit of history I know about it.

A few months ago I was at a car show and saw this engine for sale in the back of a guys trailer. He goes to tons of swapmeets and sells primarily mopar stuff, but more restoration parts vs. raceparts. The engine had some documentation attached to it. In documentation it stated that the engine was a TFX block. I did some research on the web about TFX blocks and could find none similar. I called around to several of the big engine makers including AJPE and emailed them the picture since they now own TFX and they are not familiar with this engine.

So, my main question was what kind of BLOCK is this? I know its Mopar, thats why I said in the title its a Hemi. The gear drive reads "Keith Black" but thats just the gear drive and has nothing to do with the engine maker.

I am considering getting into the Topsportman / Blown Alcohol side instead of the drag racing im currently doing. If this was a good deal, it could have been my ticket to get my foot in the door. However, I did not want to invest into an engine I couldnt get any replacement parts for, hence, why im trying to track down what kind of engine it is...

The point of me posting on here is because I was hoping an old school alcohol/top fuel guy might see this pictures and say, "oh yeah thats a..." and then I could do some research on it.

In short Bruce, if you dont know what kind of engine block this is or know someone that does, dont bother posting on this question and keep your rediculas assumptions to yourself.

If anyone knows someone who might know who the maker of this engine block is, I would appreciate and answer.

Thank you

First of all you should have said all this when you posted it instead of sounding like a smartazz.

Second you never put in the title that it is a HEMI or MOPAR for that matter. So before you get all defensive you mihgt want to re-read what you wrote in the first post.

He wasn't accusing you of anything...you posted this with little explanation, almost like it was a riddle or a "test"...

I think you are a bit rude and posts like the one above do nothing to make anyone want to answer your question. JMO

Thank you tod74 for explaining this to kryogenic, you and DirkaDirka hit the nail right on the head.

I have no idea what kind of block it is, but you could contact Keith Black and I'm sure he could tell you what it is.

Bruce since you noticed I posted this on two threads, the thread title on the second one said:

"Can someone please identify what kind of hemi this is and what its maker is. Any other details would be appreciated as well as dates of purchase, etc etc. Thank you"

That question clearly states hemi, so I guess you missed that part. Secondly, I was asking this question in a light mood, hoping someone could identify it. I didnt know that telling someone that I was considering buying it would help to identify it, thats a new one to me. I was quite polite in my questions so Im not sure how you get that my response was rude. If you guys dont think someone asking why your profile is not active and if the item(s) you are asking about are "stolen" isnt insinuating anything, then id like to have you on my jury in a criminal case.

actually, that is incorrect. The thread TITLE didn't say that...your first post in that thread did. It's possible some people wouldn't click on two different threads with the same title/subject. If he didn't read both, he wouldn't have seen the info you just posted. Just an observation.

and nobody said he didn't insinuate anything...I said he didn't accuse you of anything. You said he made accusations...your words not mine.

Accuse and insinuate are two different things. I am not attacking you here...I just think for someone asking for help you have a bit of an attitude...just my opinion. If your Thread would have been presented differently and not like a guessing game, perhaps the responses would have been different.

My first reaction to the post title on both post was- Whys this guy acting like a jerk? You could have made it clear you wanted help and where not show boating that no one would now who or where it came from. Just what i thought and it looks like everyone else, sorry

Tod, since you have decided that its important that you respond for someone else since apparently you have nothing better to do, I can respond to your input as well.

Im going to cut this short because I have nothing to prove here and this waste of time will be forgotten days from now anyway. If you aren't an attorney you very much should be. Why? Because instead of focusing on the content of the discussion you focus on the context.

As I stated before I was asking the question of what kind of engine this was in a light hearted way, "joking way". I dont know what it is, nor does any of the people I have spoken with so the question couldnt have been asked in "I know the answer do you?" type of way.

As far as saying it was a hemi in the thread, I did say it whether it was in the actual "TITLE" or not. You said if he didnt read both then.... Well if he didnt read both then he shouldnt have commented negatively.

So finally lets get to the insinuate vs accuse. Since you apparently think there is a clear difference between the two ill put it this way: If I insinuated that you had sex with your mother, would that be any less offensive than if I actually accused you of having sex with your mother? I dont think so.

"So you think you know it all huh?" Take a look...

You are forgetting something... no one really cares... it is your problem.

I don't gave a crap what motor it is.... I hope you spend thousands of dollars & BLOW IT UP. With your arrogant attitude, you can go have sex with the horse you rode in here with.

Just to show I how much I really do care, I will take a stab at it...

1983 Corvette 5.7ltr w/ TBI. It has a 3/4 Race cam you are putting it too. Personally, I think I would make it a BBQ or a BOAT ANCHOR myself.

While you are at it, why don't you take that block & put it where the sun don't shine....

The best part about your wonderful post is "No one really cares", but yet you still take the time to post on this thread! If you don't care, why are you bothering to post? Let me guess... you're a rocket scientist? haha.

I promise you I won't lose any sleep if it can't be identified. Its not mine, and I simply won't buy it. So... no problem here. If you are done with your sad attempt to grand stand, please follow your own statement and not care, so I dont have to read your posts anymore.

Oh by the way "3/4 Race cam"? I haven't heard that expression since 1985. Do you have a mullet by chance? BACK TO THE FUTURE!!!
