Thanks!

Perfect!

I was not sure the pattern on the 428 block was the same as the earlier 389/421 block. The 428 got treated to a 455 crank and rods, so I guess it's a "stroker"?

I've had this vehicle...

Caps

Yes the caps are in place and I do have the crank, but it looks to need some machine work to clean up. The bores on the block are OK and initial inspection shows no cracks in the block. Will take...

Thanks for the tip!

Since I don't have a set of SD heads from that era, they would become "wall hangers" for my basement. Perhaps someday....

I did not know that. I thought the four speed came out in 1959, but that might have been in the full sized Chevys? Note the interesting read leather "boot" around the bottom of the...
