#CE L88 427BBC long block value

That's a good point (about bringing out CE blocks that would receive nearly a 600 point deduction). A CE block would only receive the points for the broach being present if everything else was too late for the car. With a 575 point decutcion, a car could, at best receive a Second Flight .
That would be a chore for those that revise the judging manual. I don't know how they'd reward a documented CE block, or if true documentation of one is possible.
I'd love to see a true CE block car show up, if nice car, I'd like to see it do well in judging.

[/ QUOTE ] This is exactly the point why guys with legitimate CE cars pull them out and restamp them. Its not just the ncrs,people will do whatever gets them the most points at a national show. Certainly if someone starts out with a motor that wont allow them to top flight ,thats the first thing they will address .
