Hi Chuck,
I'm not specifically aware of any Canadian
Ford blocks (the Windsor plan IS in Candida). I've
seen the the Mexican blocks though, and they're in-
distingushable from the HIPO 289 block with the larger
main caps and higher nodularity iron casting. Ford
also offers a wide selection of sportsman race blocks
of course, if one is not completely wedded to the use
of a "production" block. Unfortunately no one has
convinced the SCCA/SEB that a race block might actually
SAVE CP competitors money in the long run, so I am
wedded to that production block thing.
