He can also pull the valve cover off a small block ford and the casting number is in the lifter gallery. He can then tell us if it has push in or screw in rocker studs If he really cosniders this a true HiPo block, then he is going to need to drop the oil pan to check it out as the only difference in the 289HiPo block is the wider and heavier main bearing caps. Finally, he can tell us if it is set up for a 5 or 6 bolt bellhousing.
