Very cool. Are the “whys” of the separation known? Supposedly had engine trouble and it was pulled in '71....

I found the closest number to my block I have seen yet at the Indy swap, but it was just too "seasoned" to buy it, plus the guy wanted to much for it. Only 942 off, at least I have a firmer understanding of when my block may have been cast, of course you can never know that for sure. Congrats on getting your block, I have been looking since 1995 when I bought my 69 GTS convertible...
The funny thing about science is that if you change one miniscule parameter you change the entire outcome to the way you want it.

I actually made the deal for the advertised price before disclosing the info. After chatting for a bit, I realized the guy was a good Mopar dude. After I told him he was as excited as I was about the situation.... maybe not quite as much as I was but.....

That’s awesome. Hopefully the car will make it back to Lexington cars and coffee in the near future. I intend to be back some this year!
