That's an amazing find. There couldn't have been a lot of those blocks cast in the first place and to find one now in that good of shape for a decent price is incredible. Congrats.

That's so cool that you found that block! Its really hard to find stuff when you need it but when your just around its funny how things fall your way.

Thanks guys I know. I measured bore today and it's been bored/setup for a 4.25 or standard 426 piston. What sucks is I had a perfect set from Dvorak I bought 10 years ago and never used so let go of just last summer. Of well, on the hunt now

Any update on the engine? You where looking for pistons and maybe needing a sleeve also last time I read.

I was able to get a set of 11:1 426 Pistons for it and block definately will need sleeved in 2 cylinders due to wrist pin scoring. I did pick up a swinging oil pickup for it also bu other than that I've set block aside for awhile till my machinist can get to it.
