I see this is an old thread but thought I would add some information for those considering aftermarket FE blocks. Sideoiler Garage is run by Tim McLoughlin who was also connected to Genesis. I contacted Sideoiler Garage back in early 2017 and was told that a batch of blocks were just being finished off. We paid Tim for a block on the understanding that a block would be dispatched that week. It’s well over a year now and we are still yet to receive a block or our money returned as promised. Apparently there were casting issues and all blocks were scrapped. Have also heard that several batches that followed were also faulty. Despite many many efforts to communicate with Tim, he pretty much just ignores me and fails to return our money despite promising for more than 9 months to return it. Wish we were warned before we transferred money!
