Sounds like it's a real hodge-podge of parts! By the way, a two door sedan that looks to be in decent condition for a grand, if the engine has anything good in it, that's just a bonus!!!!!

Most of the early blocks had the same markings, if the casting number sez it's a 396, I'd go with that... As for the heads, guess it would depend on what is in it for pistons....

Anyway, welcome to CHR, looks like one heck of a good buy to me!
