post some pictures if you can find them. its good to hear others have run across these, to compare stampings, info. I don't know how to tell its a tall deck block, but it does look like there is NO more deck room left near the water pump housing to me (thus normal deck?).

I would imagine most of these would have been run to death and then discarded for scrap. When I asked Verl Stevens on a guesstimate of the power it could run (thinking concervative 600 HP), he chuckled (and then I felt like an idiot). I probably should have started my first guess at 700HP.
