Anyway, i think it is just more appealing to purchase a newer block simply due to the availability of original side oilers that are not trashed or highly modified. Everything i have seen come up on ebay or craigslist in the last 5 months, excluding the 427 NOS block that KC listed, has been garbage with at least two sleeves, and the sellers still want mega bucks for them. NO thanks!

As I said previously, I started my search for an original sideoiler block too. All I found were sideoilers that had sleeves or needed sleeves. I also found welded pan rails too. I got tired quickly and I didn't search for very long because my patience ran out fast.
New is always a good choice.
