A guy has a roller block for sale. I've asked for photo's of the casting numbers near the starter mount. I've searched for a chart detailing what is what. All the stangnet and rustang sites are loaded with a bunch of adolescent smart ass's. Not to mention the ad spam. Does anyone have a good reference sheet on the later stuff? He did send pictures of 3 y's in the lifter valley and I found the same BS when looking that up.

Late small block casting number chart?
66 Cyclone GT; 245/60R15's on 15x8's and 215/70R15's on 15x7 Magnum's.
There's nothing like the sound of a pushrod V8 singing at the top of her lung's.

I don’t know of one. I’m fairly sure E6xx, E7xx, then F1xx. Not sure there wasn’t a later casting than F1 but I am sure of E7 and F1 as roller blocks. Yeah... the notion there’s any diff between YYY and XXX blocks is la-la land.

Bottom line is if I drive a half day round trip I'll have $200 in the short block. It looks really clean. Lifters are in and pan is on along with E6 timing cover. I'm thinking about driving up in the morning even though I don't need it.

Go get it. just so it wont haunt you for months or even years!
& it's good trading material. sometimes ''stuff'' is worth more than money in a trade, if the other guy needs your stuff!
