I still like going to the dial indicator for deminsions. What else can you give us? Very weird, no casting references? hhhmmmmmm

I will say that all 010 or 020 blocks are not hi-nickel blocks.
The ones that I know are hi-nickel are the very early 70's 4-bolt mains found in Chevy and GMC trucks.

You're right Erik, Not all were. It is a good indication of one. I found his block numbers. I'd like for him to tear into it if he aquires it. I hope it's a virgin with possibilities.
