Thanks Mike, Yes I knew the French blocks had some improvements and that's why I included them in my quest for a new block.
You have a good point, I hope they didn't use the patterns for fire wood.
As far as reconizung the engine as orugunal is not important as far as the street rodder wants to run them. The success we've had with the improved economy we're getting from these engines, along with improved preformance make these engines a viable power source for todays trafic. There many flatheads running the streets today, and weather they have a French block pr original isn't an issue. Now I'd like to have an american one.
PS how much does a stock french block cost today??
