I am not saying that it is worth more to everyone but if you need or want a new original Ford sideoiler block it gets pretty hard to find. If you do not need or want a new Ford original block the Pond and Genesis is a great way to go and what we use most of the time. We use the Pond and Shelby aluminum blocks more than anything right now because of the weight and they do not cost much more than a cast iron block.
For example I am building an orignal 1967 sideoiler engine right now that would be nice for someone looking for a nice orignal engine for a Cobra or a 1967 Fairlane. This engine will have the original 67 side oiler block, Medium Riser heads, Side Winder intake, pent roof valve covers, correct from cover, damper and pointer. I paid about 500.00 for the correct damper and pointer to have everything to make it original. It will have the vent/fill tube on the front of the intake and the tall breather on the bacl of the intake. This will not be for everybody but someone needing an orignal engine to pass emissions or restoring a car it will be great.
Thanks, Keith Craft
