My long term plan is Smith and Jones Ally block but this thread has made me think about getting my 200 block long studded and oil squirts done seeing as I run at 469bhp with a lot of boost now, I guess the block will be worth a bit more to a buyer when I do the full build?
I think that if I ask Mark Shead to make it bullet proof he may want to liner it anyway and then I may as well not do it and just drop the money on the Ally block as the costs are too close together.?
