Corvette with 0294550 can am block

There was an Italian guy who lived in Sweden who shipped the block to Sweden. His name was Bruno Donati and he had a company called Ital American. He was one of those who tried to speed up Drag Racing in Sweden. He went over to the States and filled Contaniers with Hi Perf engines and parts a couple of times a year. He Raced the -70 Speedwin Hemi Cuda. Funny Cars. Topfuel and Jet Dragster. He had an accident the clutch exploded and his legs were gone. He sold everything and moved from Sweden. The parts that were left were bought by a company in northern Sweden and the Block sat in a corner in a container until I found it.

I dont know if the 14011077 Heads are right for this engine. They have golf ball dimples in the combustion chamber. They did this on some Pontiac Heads and it gain 40 HP. I read that this is something that came from German fighter aircraft engines WW2. The earliest 077 Heads I believe are 14011076 and they dont have Casting Date. The ones I have dont have any Date. The earliest with a date that Ive seen is from 1970
