It seems we all have about the same take on the part. The priority oiling is a major plus.The block with the slayed mains in my opinion will be about the same in the strength department as the Y block, but the 6 bolt heads are a major plus for boosted cars. I really think they price themselves out of the market for the road race world, the engines all time out eventually. To loose a $5000 block would make a few of us want to commit harry carry.
I considered the iron block for my AMX, but weight is Horsepower, and 100 lbs is 100 lbs. In the end I will probably end up running GM stuff.
