#CE L88 427BBC long block value

[L34Pace]

I might be wrong but under the current judging standards would a warrany CE block not be considered second tier to a correctly dated restoration block with a non conforming block pad? I don't think anyone is advocating the CE should be excluded from conventional judging standards as it is obviously a non original component. We can leave that can of worms to the block restamping industry. What would be the detrimental impact of embracing the reality of the CE block and incorporating its specific characteristics into judging standards? I believe it would bring some nice examples to the show field. Under current conditions why waste the time and energy?
