thanks for all the replies.
as i'm in the uk, (where there isnt too much local FE knowledge, compared to SBF and SBC) i plan to buy a complete engine/trans solution from the US.

despite sounding really nice, ali blocks are out for me for 2 reasons - 1. cost, but more importantly, 2. in the UK, to register a cobra for road use and avoid needing to comply with modern EFI-level emissions and avoid needing to install a cat., you need an old block (with proof of age), and preferably pre-1980s - not a problem with an old iron FE block tho'. .... and if your machine shop accidentally machines off the casting numbers... its an expensive mistake!
