Small block ID..I think it is an old Feulie!
Hey guys, thanks for your patience. I am new here, but have been over on club cobra quite a bit. Anyway, I have an old 29 model A rat rod that I just kinda wound up with and started working on this winter doing some basic work. It needs a valve job so I thought it would be a good ID to check and see if I could ID the parts (block and heads). I could not find the numbers on the heads, but I did find the block numbers. They are : F0502CS. and below stamped a little crooked is 107596. I think the second is a Vin or partial VIN, but I haven't gotten that one figured out. The other looks like from my initial web surfing a 58 vette feulie motor. It does have the double hump heads. Can anyone confirm that for me? If it is, is it worth anything? Honestly, I was thinking about going with a little more HP and a 383 stroker or something when I got around to getting serious about finishing the build. It runs, but it has this little 283 with a 4 speed Muncie, feels like a close ratio, and ford 9 inch with 4:56 a$$ end. I was going to put a nicer SBC and a tremec and lower the ratio in the rear to get a better set up. any comments? Anyway, any comments you could give me would be most welcome.
Thanks

I saw last night on fb about John. The world sure lost a great one. I'm going to miss his humor, advice, and perspective from another portion of the world. Rest in Peace Johnboy.
