I know this has come up several times already and that I could just search for one of the older threads.
Starting a new thread to get current info/opinions.
Where are people sourcing their blocks for a rebuild? Are you happy with what you got for your $.
I don't have a proper garage at my current location so I think a reliable bottom end that's ready is my best bet for minimizing exposure to the weather. I'm in lower AL so humidity equals rust.
Thanks for any input in advance.
