I will say one thing. I think $2900 for an aluminum block is a really good deal, and very tempting for me.
You are right. If you are going to "invest" in a real high performance engine, you have to spend what is necessary to give it the best odds of lasting.
I suppose that there is sufficient technology to make these blocks good investments. That is as long as you don't switch over to a Chevy.
