I wanted to have it looked at.
I saw casting number on the block that reads CSAE-A???
I understand that Dwight Powell purchased up a lot of the NASCAR blocks once NASCAR banned the use of them and I'm curious if this is what I've got.
My main concern is finding a trustworthy mechanic that truly knows these motors that I can trust perform any all of my needs. I'm located 20 minutes north of Atlanta, GA. I greatly appreciate anyone's insight/suggestions.
Thanks,
Jake

I used Southern Automotive - 70 Sims St, McDonough, GA 30253 (770) 898-9360. Lyle seems to know his stuff; specializes in Ford FE; and Susan is great to deal with. I am up near you (Canton) and the experience with them was worth the short trip.
