I'm sure a hell of a lot less than the opti. With that said I've only had 1 opti go bad in the 8 years I've owned my car.

This is why there is not a high interest in an aftermarket block - the only people who want or need them would be the small amount of people who want bigger then 396/410 cubes.

So, yea, Seriously

The biggest advantage the lsx aftermarket has is the heads and their intake manifold which is why the high hp h/c 346's have 70+rwhp and 50+rwtq on a h/c lt1.

Okay, that means you'll be over on Stangnut.com arguing old 5.0 vs. Mod vs. Mach1 vs. Cobra vs. new 5.0. They get into it just like us.

Failures are almost non existent. I looked into selling them and I could barely find any that sold besides some MSD units that people were putting on for the "cool" factor.
