They're chinese castings that are finished machined here in the US. The only US blocks I know of are poured by INTERNATIONAL(the real INTERNATIONAL diesel engines, not the shop that calls themselve that) and have the INTERNATIONAL diamond cast in the valley. Another note about the chinese blocks is it seems they are cast using SAE and some metric bolt holes as the one my friend got had SAE threads for the bellhousing, but metric for teh engine mounts. He had to replace ALOT of his hardware as his 00 was all metric.
