: Hi everybody,
:
: Been scratching my head trying to figure out
: which slant six block I have. The main
: casting number (which is a long number on
: the forged crank block in my car) is 030-11.
: The rib on the water pump mounting flange is
: the same thickness from the outside to the
: block (so it's cast crank, isn't it?) Or is
: it? I can't find out anything about that
: casting number. I know that somebody or the
: Doc will know for sure. Thanks.

:
: It is a "Later" block, (78-84) most
: likly a cast crank. ( I say most likly
: because one racer I have talked with tells
: me he has a "thin water pump rib"
: block which has a forged crank in it. . .
: Uhhmmm (??)
: Pop-off the pan and take a look, let us know
: what you find.
