Re: [FWDLK] 350 Block Questions

[Eastern Sierra Adjustment Svc <esierraadj@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

The only way that a 1958 Coronet would have had an OEM  B-block engine in it
would have been if the car had had the D500 engine option in it, which
would mean that the subject engine was a 361 c.i. guy, and not the 350 
c.i. motor...

That was 20 years ago or more, so my memory is a little fuzzy, but I am pretty sure I saved a bunch of pieces off the engine for reuse on the replacement (361).
