I get it. I think it is mostly an academic argument these days.
If you believe the 010 block is the better block, no big deal; there are many more of them sitting around than any of the earlier blocks in the 60s. On the other hand, if you are restoring a 67 model Chevy, they you are pretty much stuck with an earlier block, right?
I will admit that virtually every sbc I have built for a non numbers car used an 010 block as the foundation, unless using an aftermarket block. Last one I bought, I paid $200 for the engine, less intake carb and distributor, and it came with an engine stand. Plentiful and cheap.
