And people keep giving me crap for my DIY setup...

Good luck brother, I'm sure someone here has something, but doubt they are gonna let it go cheap.. I heard they aren't making these things any more... and what with everyone craking them into pieces they might become scarce one of these days...

Depends on how good of a block you want. I might know of a VERY nice one but it ain't going to go for peanuts.

I refer back to my earlier post, you can have good, you can have fast, you can have cheap... you may also have any two of the three, but never all three together...

Well you can be lucky and buy a good stock block with perfect bores for less than $1k. This would suffice for 99% of builds. The block that I'm talking about is not stock. It's not mine, but I know it's got a bunch of extras that would enhance it's reliability....but you'll pay for this. Still, how much is reliability worth if you're going for a big boost motor?
