Can you expand? Are you only refering to the cost of the special rollers?
Or is there another reason to pass on a mexican block
the strength difference of earlier blocks won't really carry you that far. If you're building a high hp block you'll want to go aftermarket anyway.
it'll cost you $500 at least for retro-fit hydraulic roller lifters. Just for that fact alone i wouldn't get it.
all that said there should be no difference between a block made in mexico and a block made in the usa. If you bought the same size/year block made in the usa it would be the same block.
