Default Genesis FE block?

Anyone heard anything about Genesis FE blocks not being available? I called the "tech" # on their website today. Lady that answered the phone said the guy I needed to talk to was out until Monday. I said I had some tech ?'s and some $$ ?'s, she said it didn't matter, they didn't have any blocks in stock, and that she thought he was looking for another foundry.

Anyone heard anything?

From what I heard, the partners had a disagreement and parted ways. Will either one start up again, we'll see ? Hope so !

I use them when I can get them - which these days is not really possible.
I know that at least one of the owners is trying to "reboot" the program, but its been a long time now and the supply has dried up.

If somebody can find a way to buy the patterns, I can get you a foundry and machine shop that will do the complete machining (oil passages, water passages, etc.) They are located on Indiana/Ohio.

What about checking with Tod Buttermore on 351cleveland.net.
He had been working on his own revised FE block also but put it on the back burner to focus on the 351C block. I had emailed him a while back and from what I understand, he was about ready for foundry. He goes by 427Designer. tlb427351@yahoo.com

Food for thought...
