the way I see it I've postest published proof from an expert on the subject manner to back my argument, all you've done is said what you think you know from claimed personal experience. You might be right, but I'm not going to take your word for it until you can show me some proof. Simple as that. I've met a lot of really dumb guys working in machine and performance shops....guys I wouldn't even trust to do an oil change. just because you have a shop don't mean crap to me. I hope you don't take that the wrong way, its's just the way I see it.

Stang Seller,
On the blocks that are 86 and newer up to 93 that you have rebuilt [while doing a motor rebuild] are you saying the part number on the block starts out with E5 indicating it was made in 1985? [E-decade=80s 5=1985] If that's the case then a 85 - newer roller block is a roller block, and end of story.
Got a spare one lying around, out of say, a 89 or something the you could look at...? I've wondered if there was really a change in the blocks myself for some time now..

The last 85 block I have is in my '85, I will cross reference the casting number with one of my E7 blocks. I will eventually toss in a small '93 starter to clear my crossover pipe better so I can check it then. I'm quite sure they were the same. I am very confident that they're all the same, with no strength or casting differences through the years.
