I see the advantages of the modern design but I also see the need by some to go with a new stock type block. I feel that there is room for both and I hope both will do well in a limited market.

Some folks want to drive their cars a lot with smoothness and possibly more reliability and others just want a new block to replace a cracked or worn out original that may take a while to find a good core to replace. We have been fortunate that Ford made so many and had a long industrial supply as well otherwise they would not be as easy to source in the modern era.

Then you have the folks that want to build an old banger like the old dry lakes speed demons did back in the day. Yes, nostalgia has a place there too and what is better than a nice brand new block of either type to play around with.
