One line of reasoning i can't get away from is the fact i find it hard to believe PBM is going to risk thier reputation to bring a piece of junk to market,let's face it in the age of the internet it does'nt take long for junk to be exposed for what it is.PS the block is 1825.00.
if your buying a knock off block for $1825, why wouldn't you spend a couple bucks more and buy the proven real LIL M? with all the money and work going into a build it just doesn't seem worth the risk :?
