Mike1291;2308028]I know people will recommend a Burt's block, and honestly I want to go to one too when my motor quits, but a few people in my club who work around/have them have had problems with trying to get them built. It's probably a mix of a bad engine builder or a block that's almost there but not quite right. But then again your nearly 100 year old block might not be a good candidate for a rebuild either

I think we need to pay attention to spelling. The new 5 main bearing block is a
Burtz block, named for the designer, Terry Burtz. Easy to get that confused with Burt’s Model A Store in Denver. Burt’s (the store) rebuilds old blocks, and as well is a named builder for the Burtz block. So if you play it right, you could likely get a Burtz engine from Bert’s… But if you want the Burtz engine kit to build yourself or have someone else build it, you need to purchase directly from Terry’s partner,
