Default new block choice

first of all thank you for talking some sense into me. i finally decided to go back to b series and saw this on ebay. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...MEBI%3AIT&rd=1
do you think that would even be worth messing with? looks like ill end up paying around 35-50 plus 100 shipping
