Well here the problem with the Genesis deal, they have ruined their reputation by not telling the truth to many times. Have blocks and will ship then call back and they do not have blocks. Get them and they have leaks or some other problems that if they will help witha problem it takes for ever. Just ask about them on the forum here and you will see. Had a chance to have a good deal and they have screwed it up every way possible. I use the Pond Motorsports blocks now and least do not get lied to. Robert is honest and works with me on any problem we may have with the block.
In the end I have put a ton of hours in trying to help Genesis at first and got tired of their lies so Robert decided to do a block and we have worked with him. To answer your question you will spend about 3800.00 on a new block plus the shipping. There is machine work to be done after you get them and make sure you have the right stuff to check them out with. We have a very extensive process that we put all of the cast iron and aluminum blocks through and we do things to them machine wise that others do not. This is what you get when you buy a machined block from us. When you buy the bare block you get the figure out all that needs to be done.
I will use original stock block, center oiler and side oilers but will check them out very well before we use them. In the end I have to stand behind what I build so I do not want any block problems.
