Russ,

I spoke to Tod and he did not have a precise price only a ball park figure. This may be due to the different quantities he orders in each run plus the foundry he uses and other factors.

I’m not sure you can compare the two products. Correct me if I’m wrong, but I understand his is a bare block that has to be machined and you will need everything to assemble an engine.

The final cost could be very close between the two, both probably cost about the same as rebuilding an existing block. The only advantage probably comes down to whether you want an engine with an old block vs. a more reliable new block.
