    I have measured, cut and checked-the casting # is 861959 p

    The block is out of the car-no mistake.

    I think moon is correct. What looks to be an 8 is really a 3. This was a popular 454block from '73-'85 an your block date is apparently '77.

    There are no BBC engine codes beginning with 8 and there are no other _861959 numbers either.
