I think I am alright, it fit a 59° cam just fine. I am new to the after market blocks and went off the part number (as did the seller) so no bad blood, I learned another lesson as I see it. And it was a deal, I've sold stock blocks for more.
I'll try and get it checked out by someone who knows it before I buy more lessons lol
Can you take picture of lifter valley?
48* can have 59* stepped bearing or the 1,998" straight through.

Looks like I got me a 59° resto block. Cool, I think...
You can check that 59* part easy... if you have a
rod that fits the lifter bore.. set the block level
and measure the rod (in the lifter bore) and see if
it says 48 or 59... if its a resto block they are fine
also

The pics really show the big difference between 48 and 59 degree.
The distance between the bores and the valley wall and the spacing are pretty dramatic. As for telling the 48 vs. 59 degree cam blanks , I think the distance between lobes would be the easiest short of knowing the P/N or who made it and what they made.
Yeah the 48* lobes are narrower than a 59* so they
will clear because they are closer together

Nothing at all wrong with a good 59* piece.I bet 775hp can be made with the right combo for sure.
If your looking to stay under 8000rpm there is nothing wrong w 59* stuff.
Cylinder head selection for becomes an issue for more hp then mentioned.

Don't forget you can run a w9 59* head with Brett's cnc program.
I just so happen to have exactly that. Just need to figure out rockers and lifters and weld up the holes in the ports from the CNC job. Should make okay power
