Even though I own several '36, 21 stud LB engines, I'd personally rather have a '37 block over a '36 LB in my '35 drivers. A '37, early '38, 21 stud block is much more versatile, and can be built into a better performing engine compared to a '36 LB. It can also be built to look like a '32-'36 engine, with water pumps mounted on front of heads, and block off plates on front of block, or it can be built with 21 stud, water outlets in center of heads, and '37-'48 water pumps mounted on front of block.
