The IA2 is an aftermarket block based on one originally created by Indian Adventures;

The ALL PONTIAC blocks are based off of the original Indian Adventure blocks but with many improvements so the blocks are actually a block you can trust. I have owned three of the All Pontiac blocks to date. Nice pieces.

Value depends, Pontiac reused engine codes many times over;
Typically value of blocks (and parts) is driven by the cars that they are correct for;
'70 Trans Am's and '70 Judges are probably what are really driving up values of '70 Pontiac YZ & WS blocks, as well as #12 heads, and '0270 & '0273 carburetors.
