I am not asking this to make an argument for using this block, I am asking to satisfy my own curiosity as to how close to "right" a factory block is. Nothing more.
Compared to this block the 010 blocks are better as they use the center of the dowel hole under the fuel pump boss to locate everything from front to rear on those blocks and they seem pretty close.
010 very from block to block as far as lifter bore and cylinder placement and cam tunnel placement.
