A Machine shop can not correct some of the recent problems. They had a recall on the blocks. Having trouble getting them out after making corrections.

I know one Distributor who is having a hell of time with Genesis. He has had to return two block recently. Has a customer on hold for the past 4 months.

I had a long conversation with someone from Roush and he said they are not doing Genesis blocks which require too much machine work. They are doing more and more with Shelby blocks as well as suppling complete motors to Shelby. The best thing you can do if you are going with a after market block is connect with Mike Lefevers, Keith Craft or George Anderson they are all on top of the current status of aftermarket blocks.
