Brent's right. It's pretty hard to see the sides of the block. If they're painted any shade of black, even a half-ass paint job, you really can't see them at all. And you can't tell if the block has been cleaned up, deburred, etc. -- you can barely see it. This is the eye angle on most of our cars with an FE in them (small blocks are a different story).
