But yes, they are both in the 3,000$ range new I'd check with RyanJ, he may be able to find you what you're looking for. I bought an R1A tall deck, non siamese block with bushed lifter bores, and a bunch of other machine work already done for a good price the other year...

I just waited to buy one till I found one for a decent price. Be carefull though it was a machining nightmare that ends up costing a bunch of $$ that adds to the GOOD deal. I still have a little less than a new 3g block though with all the machine work included.

The only thing I do not like about the X-ers is they do come rough and for the full run of machine work is on average 2k, which makes the $500 block deals doable imo. However there is so much of a stock block look to an X block its worth it to some to have that look. It was posted and true you can sit and wait for the right person to dump an R block and scoop it up at a good price and for that reason I ask why so many small block folks are still using production blocks.

Because I haven't found that "right person" to dump a R block cheap.

Should make 700+HP on pump and with a bit more boost and race gas we expect over 750HP. I'll post results when I have them...I expect to dyno the engine first part of Feb. How much HP are you thinking of building?? Brian Hafliger
