I've had brand new blocks that needed sleeves.

I've had brand new blocks that needed lifter bore sleeves because of porosity.

There are some cast iron blocks floating around where the lifter bores are not finish-drilled all the way through, so there's a step at the bottom.

It's really beginning to not be worth it. When you have a back log of orders and you have to pull one off the dyno to fix something or you don't find something that should have been done until the block is finished and painted, it just pushes everything back.

Not to mention that I can make the same horsepower with a SBF with 50 less cubic inches....

Brent, does that include the higher dollar Shelby FE, and the BBM ?
