I gotta agree with pablo here,,,HIS,,,if you dont have anything to add to this thread beyond derision,please MYOGDB...
Anybody who's been here for any length of time knows your the last person here who'll be springing for aftermarket blocks anytime soon.
And again,I'll repeat this:
This is not a stock vs. aftermarket block thread!
So get off the high horse my friend,either add something productive to this thread,or please just STFU,or,,,at the very least keep the snide comments in check.
This is no different than comparing any other stock items like, manifolds , distributors , heads , cranks , transmissions , you name it...
You've done that in the past,so that's all that's going on here,what's the big issue???
I'm not trying to be an a$$ here,but you seem intent on derailing the direction this thread
should be going,this thread
could be a good means to explore the subtle differences in factory castings,with a good visual database for folks to explore and see these various castings,and their nuances.
But if every few posts is you coming out and poo-pooing all things stock block related it's gonna get real old real soon,seems to me some folks here are real interested in the subject even if you are'nt...
Post some pics of blocks if you got any,that would be productive!
And very welcome!
As for the weak argument earlier about this leading to some dipsh!t at a swap meet wanting top dollar for any good castings,it's total crap,will only happen if the buyer(s) go along with that line of thought,otherwise that sorry a$$ person selling will be stuck lugging that same block to 20-30 swap meets to get his price.
Wont happen...
Besides,I myself have never bought a single block at a swap meet myself,never needed to,bought one set of heads,one time,and those turned out to be big POS.
Never again...
