The 1st 500 or so 528's were built by Arrow. Then Cummins took over. The Cummins engines had many problems. Many if not most were so bad they to had to fixed immediately, to be used. So yes your engine is probably a Megablock from the sound of it and I'm sure it has been fixed if it's now running well.
Yes world blocks have the freeze plugs on the front and an oil pump passage on the front.
My Cummins built 528 has pad stampings similar to yours.

Also, is it fair to say that independent engine builders built 528's before the World blocks were available?

Not if it is a Mopar crate motor . My Cummins Recon 426 was a MESS , every machined surface had to be touched, the only original parts on the heads are the head castings, all new parts including guide liners was needed. The fact that someone was in that one is a good thing, but they needed to check everything.

I knew I was going to have to go in it, but not to the extent that I did.

I never heard that Indy built MP crate motors, but I could be wrong on that. They were not building them in 2000 when I bought mine, anyway.

HemiSportFury: Did Indy build engines that were sold by Mopar Performance? If so what years? Somewhere in the back of my brain I thought I read that they did but I must admit when it comes to these engines its hard to keep track of who built which engine and when did they do it.
Steve No Indy did not build for MP. MP went with the LOWEST BIDDER and they got LOWEST BIDDER quality ...

My 528 was rebuilt by Ray Barton under Mopars warranty. They paid him like $5000.
The markings on my pad are very similiar to yours large upright 528 with a smaller number upside down below it, my number is 02137 xxx. So I dont think your date code theory holds.

OK, your number format is basically the same as mine so it looks like mine is a Cummins built engine. When did you get your engine? 2000 Did you get it straight from Mopar Performance? Yes, well kinda Koller Dodge Did you have problems immediately or did you do a "defensive" tear down? read this web page http://www.midsouthmopars.com/members/Rick/hemi.htm What intake and carbs do you have? Running EFI a single 1000 CFM throttle body on M1 intake Did you keep the original cam or did Barton make improvements along with the rebuild...Dyno results?? Mopar would not pay Barton if we used a diff cam. I since replaced it with a solid roller. [/quote]
