Price for a complete 4,2 ltr french engine in good working condition between 2500 and 3500€ so for me no need for a new cast block.

Couldn’t disagree more. More young guys I run with are into flatheads then the old guys we know. Especially in Europe. I sold a lot of stuff to European hot riodders.
