Mike,the guy that saved this block was amazing.He had to pin a few leaks,the big deal was the place on the drivers side of the valley that takes oil down to the dizzy was a void.Gene made a stainless tube and found a way to press it in and then make a flair fitting to flair it inside and outside.He then put the block in a tank of 180 degree water and ran block sealer through the whole block.He also did the alu block that was part of a complete alu engine at M/Ts.It was stamped 8v370 but had 3in mains.It was designed to run bare alu like the Vegas.Gene sleeved it and I think we wound up like 366 CI.He sealed that block also.His name was Gene Ohole(spelling)He past away a couple years go.Tom
