[QUOTE="forcefedcobra, post: 9301644, member: 24929"] When I purchased mine the negative that we found out was that FRPP installed the crank incorrectly and it caused the front harmonic balancer to eat the timing cover and piss oil all over the place. My buddy and I figured this out by simply making sure the crank would rotate by hand (something you would want to do on any motor new or junk yard pos).........After finding this issue and talking to numerous other people that had the same issue FRPP blew smoke up our butts saying "Wow you are the first person who had this issue" even though a bunch of us were all talking to eachother and all calling at the same time. My buddy and I ended up taking the motor apart and building it back up. Had I known this is what we were going to end up with I would have just bought the block and saved time and money by swapping over the crank/rods from my old motor into the new block. The main bonus of the aluminator is that it will come with revised heads and is lighter. It's still tough as nails for being an aluminum block. If you get the reman motor from tousley it will come with revised heads also, but you wont get the weight savings since it will be an iron block. Really it all just comes down to your budget.
