I almost bought, guy said it was a race block. I asked how come it doesn't have an r on the front, he said its not an r series just a high nickel, tall deck block. Thanks anyway EDIT- Didn't see the other replies. I have the block in my possession for the moment, are there any dead give aways? The main caps do look like factory part imo.

the very first pic shows space between the cylinders, very dark but you can see it.
Caps are definately not stock caps. The whole thing looks freshly machined and as long as it is not bored more than about .030 over I would say it is worth at least $500-700 with the cap upgrade, mabey a little more to a guy looking for something machined and ready to build because of the money he would save.

Cap is not drilled but that don't mean the block isn't.

Well I pulled out a 74 360 block for comparison. The blocks are def different, the main webbing is much thicker, the block has normal oiling provisions why the cap doesn't i dunno. The pan rails are completely filled as someone stated earlier, where as the 74 block is recessed.
What kind of power in your opinion can this thing handle? Its supposed to be taller deck than a standard block, how would I measure that?
Also it has been freshly machined, bore is 4.04

Other than the bolt holes in the cap it looks like it could be added.... I have no idea if the block itself is drilled for the pump... but a external pump could be used easily... over all it looks beefy but that would depend on a sonic check

Deck height is measured from the center of the mains to the deck of the block.
