512 long block question

[GREEN4SPDSS]

Thanks Olredalert I was told by someone else the same thing. That is the whole reason why I posted the Question. I do not see Broach marks. I think I will remove the heads and look at the deck Better. Look at Rixls6 photo he posted. I would say if the pattern is straight like his that yes it's never been decked. I will take some pictures of the engine and send them to Bruce to post. I was told the guy who had the engine Bought it new in 69 over counter. This had to be one of the Baddest things available over the counter. Ed
