Wow, good to see engine block available but what a price. Not sure who will buy them, racers or those with non original high priced cars maybe.

Yes over 14K does seem pretty pricey, but it depends if you can still get an unmolested serviceable one elsewhere for a top notch engine rebuild. It's the same with any old vehicle (60s motorcycles in my case) - when the parts might as well be made of 'unobtainium', there are only so many repaired and patched up parts to go around (cylinder heads in my case) before the vehicle becomes unmaintainable.
