The engine they grabbed out of the junk yard was a basic 400 2-bbl engine with 4x-8 heads I believe. They used the same components that came on the engine. No build-up from a swap meet deal. The swap to screw-in studs was probably recommended by the machine shop if they found some "tall studs".
The engine looks like a sludge bucket (oil never changed).
