Their WEB site still shows both the aluminum and cast iron blocks for sale. Of course, it would not be the first time a WEB site lied.
I like the Genesis block for a mild street motor. Lighter than the Pond block, not as stout either, but should be solid enough for an under 500HP build.
I have been bouncing between small block, FE, and 385 for my car. Small block would be a no-brainer for solid performance and reliability.
I like the FE for how compact it is and the bigger bore, but detest the almost always seeping between the intake, heads, and valve covers. It also the most expensive solution.
The 385 is a cheaper solution than the FE, but it is a monster. Not sure what kind of compromises I would have to make to stuff one in my car.
