Of course, I havn't seen it yet...but he says it's crossbolted and has the side-oiler boss.

As for what the inside looks like, chances are....I wouldn't know that until after a purchase. There of course lies part of my dilemma.

His price is firm too....although with several people apparantly trying to come up with funds to buy it from him (his claim), cash would probably talk.

Keep in mind too, this is a block that hasn't been run in atleast 20-30 years. The chassis in the 57 rusted out and he retired the combo.
