You're better than that no? Do you think they stopped making new FE blocks forever? Did Bid Bear and Pond go out of business. Maybe I missed that message somewhere. A previous thread here on CC said they'll be available in about 60 days. Has anyone waited for an auto part in the history of autos?

Waste of Internet space.
Boy,

We are touchy today or what? Point is that you can't currently purchase these blocks. In 30 days? Perhaps. In six months? Maybe. Never? Very possible. My point was that many small volume producers do not stock inventory and often only produce when they have sufficient orders to make/pay for production possible. I have no idea of the OP's schedule or time expectations and I suspect no one other than the OP does.

I recently tried to purchase a small block "COBRA" intake. None of the dealers that carry it had one in stock. Several told me that supply was hit and miss and they had no idea when the manufacturer might make more. Again, I understand the business model of these small volume, specialty businesses. You might catch them on the day they have some.....or maybe not. The point is don't plan your entire project around a piece that you may or may not be able to source.

And thanks for the heads up, I was not aware that the Internet was running out of space. Perhaps we all need to be allocated a given amount of posting capacity to save room for cat videos and other high value posts.
