I ain't sure what its called but I seen it somewhere before. Its a full plastic long block used for setting an engine in a frame to line everything up for clearance. Whats it called and how much and where can I get me one? I am looking for a genIII to build twin turbo on an engine stand before I go through the trouble doin it on me back.

mock up block
Seems like a junk block would be more economical

Plywood and 2X4's are pretty cheap. Get some rough measurements and build a mock up. $400 for a plastic replica is insane!

Here is a link to what your wanting Replica Motors. I was thinking of getting one of these but they are too expensive. I have seen a couple being sold on ProTouring.net a couple of times, but what I have decided to do for my project and I have seen others do it is just go over to LS1Tech and buy a blown or cracked LS1 block, the aluminum makes it a little bit easier to handle and move around. They usually go for around $100. Or you can check with your engine builder, mine said I could borrow one of his LSX blocks he has laying around for a few weeks.
