711M X-Flow - 1600 or 1700 Block Wanted

There's usually 711M's on ebay but buyer beware! There's a short engine for £350 at the moment which I'd be tempted to look at rather than just a block that might have come off a heap of rubbish and been tidied up. Also have a punt around the FF1600 builders - a friend bought a decent prepped block a while back for reasonable money.

The Burton price is high for the Ford recast block. Hartwell Ford in Hemel Hemstead are the suppliers for Ford engine parts for FF1600 and sell the block for £1400 +VAT here 

A good AX block will be very expensive if you can find one. They are stronger but they're also heavier (5kg?). The 711M should be plenty strong enough for a normal 1700 that's been well tuned. The recast block is also stronger than the original.
