Re: Burtzs block
I wonder how many engine blocks used in fine point cars are restamped? Do the owners speak up and say oh I restamped my block because the original was junk? I see no difference with the Burtz. It is a replacement for what was there. I don't agree with not being up front about it though. How many fine point cars are made up from parts gathered here and there to make an " original" car. For me the only original cars are the ones that have most of the parts they where built with. Not to get off the Burtz question but probably 90 percent of cars advertised as restored original are not original. The word original has lost its meaning. Restored to original appearance might be more appropriate. No one can deny that the Burtz engine has rejuvenated a certain segment of the hobby and has the potential to keep these cars on the road for many more years.
