Visually, the Genesis blocks are supposed to be an exact copy of the original 427's, and have a 1965 date code on them. If they are visually correct, is there any reason other than "authenticity" that makes an original block any better than a new Genesis? I also understand that the new blocks are drilled for use with hydraulic cams. Any opinions would be appreciated, as I am trying to decide if having an original 427 is worth the price tag.
