Referring to the blocks. 61-62 blocks are flat across area where head mounts to the block on front side. There is also a transfer lug on left side of the block. 61-62s are nearly 3/8" thick, some late 62 and 63s are much thinner in the same area. I believe the early block also have a higher nickel content? The heads are just run of the mill 389 stuff.
