    Just found out that my OE block is cracked, and i need one to replace it Car was built on June 26th, heads are cast "F 19 7" or June 19th. I'd be thrilled if it was an "FC" engine code (4 bbl Powerglide) but a late May or early June Flint casting will do.

    the last time i had my 283 rebuilt, it was bored 60 over to be a 292. im told that this is the limit of the bore for a 57 283, but is it possible to sleeve a 57 283, so you could ostensibly use it nearly forever? i know itd be a lot of money over just another 350, but im awfully proud of that...
