THIS IS THE BLOCK IM GANA USE FOR THE 599 BUILD. HAS HAD NOTHING BUT POSITIVE REVIEWS AND FEEDBACK. SO WADA YOU GUYS THINK??? PBM Performance wrote: My name is Dick Boyer I am the director of sales and marketing for PBM performance Parts. I just wanted to clear up a few miss leading posts regarding our new PBM iron block. We at PBM strive to provide the engine builder with good quality engine parts and at no time would we knowingly sell something that had an issue in any way. So with all the allegations posted on this site I thought it best if you heard it from the people most resposible. We sent 3 blocks out to an independent metallurgical lab today to have a BHN test performed on them we sent a Bow tie GM block a Dart little M block and our new PBM iron block all of the blocks tested above 187 the PBM block tested 195. I also had a PBM block cut into sections to determine wall thickness and am sending a section of this block to an independent metallurgical lab to have a BHN test a rockwell test as well as a chemical analysis to determine the propertiies of the iron the block is made of the lab says this is the most accurate method. We here at PBM do not take lightly any idea that we would sell something that has issues of any type. If you have questions about this or any PBM products feel free to email me at dboyer@pbm-erson.com or call the PBM technical line at 800-588-9608

find out where they are cast. there is a lot of shit from china now. i know the dart big m, world merlin 3 and brodix blocks are cast over here in the usa.
honestly though tim, check out where it is cast. if it is china then just save up some more $$ for a dart or similar. worth it in the long run.
The PBM blocks are cast in Australia not china just for the record and if jerrame at creb isnt worried then neither am i, im sure he wouldnt build something thats gana be a problem for him because if it breaks because of a defect he will replace it. he warrantees all his stuff. maybe i can be the guinee pig for these blocks. if he didnt take such good care of me in the past id be a little sketchy but he has my full trust and we'll see how they hold up. any1 who knows me knows that i am very tuff on equipment especially jerrame at creb.
