Excuse my lack of knowledge, but is a Oval port block just another way of saying "fishing motor" ? or is it something different ? Parts etc. the same ?
Are they any good for making a semi-performance motor ?
I am looking for a good block for my 89 200 and someone on the board has some steel oval port 2.4 blocks for sale.

Thanks,
Burke

He says they're bare- no paint.
Is this a good motor ?
Steel bore too, by the way.

He says it's brand new - never been assembled.
Was there some made with steel bores ?
