Pontiac people are cheap, plain and simple. Try selling something in the ads here. You list it for 50% of original cost and someone will always ask if you will take 1/2 that and throw in free shipping.
I would kindly pay $1800-$2200 for a Factory Type Block with 4 Bolt Mains and lifter bores braced that will go 4.250 and would take 1K HP. Don't think it's gonna happen.
While the MR1 and IA are good blocks they have that large bulkhead in front of #1 that kills the factory look. For the Nostalgia stuff I run I will continue using Factory blocks with billet caps and filled.
Back to the heads!!!!
I bought a set for a street 428 build. I wanted to put RAIV or Ram Air II heads on it but cannot see paying 4-5K for a set of heads that need to be rebuilt. This will be a mild build 550-600HP stock looking cruiser. I was going to order another set of E heads when these popped up. I figure I would check these out when they arrived. If they look good- I'll touch up the valve job, surface to 68CC and put good springs on.
