If you want to find a good block start with a lot of blocks and check them all. This is a picture I took in my old shop when I was buying blocks for a race program. A lot of blocks turn out to be junk after they are tanked, magnafluxed and sonic checked. Start with 10 blocks and you might end up with one good race block and 3 or 4 okay street blocks.
