nah , didnt get that lucky. i got the block from a freind of his in VT, the deal was i wouldnt buy the block unless he had it magged first. I had already wasted enough money on blocks that turned up to be trash. it is a 69 block , id like to find a 455 local to build over the winter . But now , well soon im picking up a 69 or 70 nova for my 454 i have in the shed. I used to have 62 impala ss 350, my ex-wife got that in our divorce. I didn't care for the car much anyway.
