I tossed it up back and forth on using a ZL1 block in mine and came to determine, in my mind, that the cast iron block will be much more reliable over 1000's of miles of use.

If it aint real dont worry about it and use what is readily available and build it as such!

We build these to enjoy and to remember, not to fool someone out of their money!
