Kind of takes it out of the 289/302 equation doesn't it. If someone wants a 331 or 347 that's O.K., but by no means a neccessity. The money could be better spent elsewhere.
I'll take a standard size one any time over either of the other two. If I want something that big I'll use a standard 351W.
I also have a Mexican block, still as a complete engine. Not sure about the head casting #s.
