Pontiac actually has more than one choice Kauffman makes a cast iron and aluminum block for them. Iron is $3195 aluminum is $4595. Butler does cast iron as well for $3495.
I hope Callies sells a fair number of the blocks and maybe reconsiders the price point. But for now it is what it is and if someone wants/needs one they now have the option.
