not one to make a fuss, but the link states "DID'NT DO TO BAD FOR A 383 SBC BRODIX TRACK 1X HEADS"

...sbc... usually denotes small block chevy, so i'm guessing that is the block, and it is the current bad ***

wildcat chebby of the moment..... (just trying to figure out how to punch out my 305tbi before i drop it into an SE)
