I have read & reread your post. I will quote you:
"I beleive PBM is selling them with there name on them!!"
Again I would ask, why slander PBM & Wheeler until you know for a fact that they are guilty of what you are accusing them of doing???
Again Mr low poster this again is my quote
"I beleive PBM is selling them with there name on them!!"
That statement DOES NOT SAY I AM 100% SURE.
So don't put words in my mouth
And if you have read all my posts you will see I have never seen a PBM block to compare against.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX I'm not 100% sure though.
****EDIT POST****
Grow up this is a technical section. NO BASHING HERE!

No bashing here? Then how come you don't delete this whole thread? The whole reason Hink started this thread was to bash PBM about a block he hasn't even seen yet?
Have not bashed the PBM block as others have on the Yellow bullet site and some have accused that the block in the pics I posted and the PBM being the same block. Plus I have had a call from a reputable shop that has both in his shop and said they are the same casting.
AGAIN I HAVE NOTHING BUT ONLY HERE SAY TO COAMPARE AGAINST RIGHT NOW, If a PBM block shows up here I will post pics of the 2 blocks and every one can make their on decision if they are the same blocks or not!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I hope when I get a PBM block I have not been lied to about their block not being the same.
Dick Boyer has been asked many times where is this block coming from and who's is machining the castings and no answers so far. And I am very curious myself.
I BELIEVE you are the same poster on speed talk forum yesterday and you didn't get far over there did you and here are some of the quotes from some guys over their.

It seems to me that since he is a Dart WD, that he would try to trash talk a competing block.
See link below for pictures of the block.

This kind of nonsense does not belong on this forum. So keep it to yourself. Carl is researching a product to let us and consumers know about the quality of said product. PERIOD!

There is not much bs here, and if you post bs, you will likely be called on it. I read this forum a lot, I post a little, cause the stuff I see here is good and not commercially orientated in anyway,, I only post when I feel like I can add somthing to conversation... Whatever the whole story is about the block that carl is working on, it will be told here and told honestly..

We will find out soon enough.
Why would you name you're self shorty in the first place???

I've had the opportunity to only speak with him once on the phone (doubt he remembers).. He was probably one of the most knowledgeable people I have EVER spoke with...
Being my father ran a machine shop for 20+ years and worked for companies such as lockheed martin, Boeing, the NAVY, and 100's of other high quality companies (Who have amazing quality standards),... I believe what Carl says.
I have also worked for a company that made latches (the door handles, glove box latches, and center console) for EVERY car company out there.. So I've seen a part for any car that anyone has owned recently.. I take pride in people like Carl. I don't get why people question what he does. It makes no sense... That's all I have to say..

Sorry Carl couldn't resist. You guy's will never have anything to worry about when Carl is looking into a subject matter. He takes his work very serious and has a ton of pride on what he sells and don't sell. If it's junk he will call it junk, if it's good he will call it good and recommend it and offer it.
Keep up the good work detective Carl.

But, since he's probably the first person I've noted that actually digs into the subject instead of repeating what they "heard", I think I'll just keep reading what he posts.
There's no reason to bash anyone....it's just data.

Hey Pimpdude,,,
I see you got no where here so you decided to post in the advanced section with your crap too :roll:
You need to do a bit of research before you run off at the mouth about someone & make a complete fool of yourself,,,,
Carl never said he had a PBM block
You might not like the presentation but Carl is a no BS guy & he will call it as he sees it
Doesn't make a bit of difference if it is Dart or a Chinese POS copy if Carl sees a problem he is not shy about bringing it to task
He found a problem with the Dart SHP a while back which was resolved primarily because of Carl's bulldog approach although props must go to Mr. Maskin & the Dart gang for attending to it in a timely manner too, not all companies are going to bother.
Now what do you suppose will happen to any QC problems on this or these Chinese blocks when there are issues?
You think they give a rats ass about their product as long as there are guys like you who are willing to buy it because it is cheap?
As far as the PBM block I don't have a clue if it is the same casting,, but the one post from the PBM representative certainly begs a few clarifications
It would be nice if the questions directed to him were answered.

Carl has stated that he "believes PBM is selling them under their name too" and that "Wheeler down in Florida is machining them for PBM".
Carl doesn't have any facts to backup these statements.
He did NOT make those statements at FACTS. He said he believed that to be the case, and would look into it. Premature, possibly.... but NOT stating hearsay as fact!
NWHP, you've come to the WRONG place to start drama about Carl. He's well respected, and you are presenting yourself as some sort of drama queen. Carl will report his findings in due time. If you are intelligent, you will wait for him to report his findings before spewing out your own drama and hearsay.
People here don't get caught up in adolescent-like behavior.

In my opinion, CNC should be applauded by every person visiting this site. Why? Because in the end, Lunch-pail Joes (LPJs) like me will hear from the silver tongued salesmen, magazines, other racers and NOT the pros like we are hearing from here. Yes, the buyer should always beware but when these things are out in the market place like Keith said and being polished by greedy marketing types who knows who will greedy and start pushing these things. If it happens, there will be a lot of suffering by LPJs like me and that stinks. There are tons of performance parts in the market today outsourced from outside our boarders that we know are crap but you've got to be pretty far upstream to know when reputable companies are shading your eyes. Without some inside knowledge general consumers (like me) will be nothing more than bird bait to these greedy types. It scares the hell out of me!
Sorry, I know I'm a newbie but I had to say something here because I hate where this road could take us.
Well I guess these quotes say alot about what I have said and my reputation.
I am a WD for Dart and even posted about a problem with their SHP block which shocked alot of people but Dick Maskins is a stand up guy and the problem was resolved the next day.
I have posted problems about many machine shop issues and block issues over the years.
