Someone needs to start re-casting 340 blocks

Don't mean to sound disrespectful here, but I can't tell you how many times I've read on this forum that somebody was having a hard time finding a part. It wasn't to long ago that someone said something about not being able to find a camshaft thrust plate for a sbm.
There were massive supply chain issues for 2 years non stop... then when supplies come back to make parts, LS are getting made first.. then SB chevy.. then ford, then SB ford.. and eventually mopar... it's not a huge conspiracy. Mopar guys are usually way down the list just before anything AMC..

Also.. you can build anything you want in Cali as long as it's X years old..
