It can be converted to 4 bolt caps and have the pipe plug on the side machined out,all for under $500 or so,and unless it is cracked it is probably worth about $4-5K. Pretty much it is a date code and casting correct block for somebody's Yenko/COPO car. </div></div>
hold yer horses hombre. The suffix code & partial VIN will always peg this as an Impala block so... $4-5K? Not a chance. Save your $500 OP </div></div>
Yes and decked or REBROACHED blocks which have been restamped are quite easily discernible. It will always be a low HP 512 block whether it is doctored to look like something else or not!
