    i have been tossing around the idea of grabbing a block & just wanted to know if i should go with a L32, L26, L67, L36? i am going to be sticking with an m90 build.

    L26...L36's are cheaper as I have a FULL bottom end sitting here taking up space with 80-ish K on it from a H-Body. Again...with the Higher comp you don't need as much boost to make it fast but you DO need more cooling mods are they are more/easier prone to knocking.

    you can break any of them as easy as the other ones. make the car run well and all the blocks will work exactly the same. because im cheap, id run an l36.
