Title: Genesis & pond blocks
Post by: Galaxie352 on March 15, 2015, 04:14:46 PM: Hi. Are the 427 from genesis and pounds still available ? I tried too send ponds a Pricelist request but the Mail did not came true. And at survival motorsport it is also poorly with info i think. Some pages will not Even load at survival motorsport. I will be grateful on any info regarding prices and available around these blocks =)

There is also a new block available from a company called BBM ( Bear Block Motors ) and available from some of the other vendors.

on some good looking light weights.
Get'm well there still wet from the coolant.
Your not going to get a cheaper light weight than that.
I'm getting pretty tempted to sell something and get one. :P

Since ponds both offers sohc and side oiler and the sohc block need some more prepp i was not shure that the price was the same for both. I guess it is ? Those blocks from bare block motors look pretty nice. have any one some experience with those block ?

There are multiple manufacturers producing blocks and heads and everything to build
a complete new FE. And it will be better than anything the factory put out.
You can not go wrong with any of the available blocks.
Although not cheap compared to a small block crate engine, the ability to build a XXX ci FE
with top shelf parts is really just a phone call away.
And the required credit card use. ::)
