And I would be the polar opposite, assuming you can find a new or used Genesis iron block. I believe most of Barry R's Engine Masters FE builds have used the Genesis iron block. Though it sounds like they're unavailable at this time.

When I first started looking for a nice used FE block, all I saw was junk, near junk and repaired junk. Blech.
