    Organizing the garage and moving spare parts around.
    I have 2 spare blocks
    One is punched WG on the block (I think it was from a 1972 225)
    Does that sound correct?

    The second i bought as a complete, punched SR with small diameter oil pickup.
    1970 full size?

    Thanks

    I think the SR engine is a Riv engine.

    I must have read the punch wrong, will check again tomarrow
    My G must actually be a F.
    Time for better lighting or new lenses in my glasses.

    1970 SR = GS A body 455, and SF = all the rest... i.e. the big cars 455
