go to a older block and if u want a roller change it to roller.... older one like 69-73-74 i think are considered best without being able to find a mex block....more sturdy....thicker walls...or get ya a mano war head....

what is the difference in the mexican block????

i live like 5 minutes from juarez and i go to their junkyards all the time (they are concrete and look like junk car lots very clean) if anyone needs me to and they pay shipping and what i pay for the block then i might be able to get a few of them....
