IMHO, do not order a Factory block.. cost is not worth it(even on a short
block setup)
For half the cost, get a reman that has a 3 year/100,000 miel warranty from
Marshall Motors.
I have ahd this block in for almost 2 years now and am still tickled shit
pink that it runs so well.
BTW, the factory block was $1400 or so witha 3 eyar, 36,000 mile where as I
paid $800 for the 3 year/100,000 mile warranty from Marshall Motors.

they expand to europe, said that the storage has to look like the storage in

cars/trucks in europe. I havenīt asked them what they want to have for the
block and if they have a block here in europe but I think it will be about
3000 Euros which is about 3000$.
