Thanks RR.....it could either be G3 or G8, but very helpful. I'll check for the ribs on the other side.

Tom Kirkham mentioned that service blocks were not worth as much money due to "core shift problems." Not that I really care that much about the value, since it's a driver not a museum piece, but what's a service block worth vs. an "original" and what does core shift problem mean? Right now, it's a very stout motor. I have no interest in either selling the motor or the car. I'm too in love with both, but just interested in it's history.

I did also notice a patch or fill of some sort on the pass. side back of the block just above the oil pan (nearest the fire wall). Looks like something may have caused a crack or hole at some point.
