I disagree about the knockoff engine blocks from PBM. Currently I have 2 SBC's that I am using with these aftermarket blocks from PBM. My engine builder got them for me in a 4.155" bore. These were ready to assembled. Everything speced out perfect! These have proven to be a value beyond my expectations. I would be more interested in hearing the findings of an independent test. Even more surprising is the web page link listed isn't functioning? To anyone out there, I would use these blocks over again, and recommend them to anyone interested. I look forward to your comments.
:x :x
How long have you had the blocks?
How many miles or full passes are on the motors they are being used with?
Have you pulled the motors down since building and if so, what did the mains and cylinder bores look like?
How big of a cam were you using?
What did the lifter bores look like?
How high are you RPM'ing the motor?
All important things to take into consideration to say the least. Just because you threw it together and it fired up doesn't mean it's not junk.
