When I was shopping back in the day, the price difference between the CSX and Pond block was about $500 plus the special head studs or whatever. I bought the CSX block because of the additional "heft" (they weigh more), different oiling pattern, and their ability to go out to 527ci, if I ever wanted to go there.

However, at $7K today and the Pond block being over $1,000 cheaper, the CSX block makes very little sense to me anymore, unless you have a CSX replica and want a CSX block for whatever reason.
