Default Early Pontiac engine?

Local machine shop went out of business. Owner/operator died, family is liquidating the inventory and tools/equipment/cores There is an early Pontiac engine there. Assembled, painted. Looks pretty--and fresh. The person I talked to has no idea what the history is, what work has been done to it, or who it belongs to. Office is a mess, "maybe" there's some paperwork on it.

Has the older "gusher" cooling system where the water pump discharges into the cylinder heads. Has huge fuel pump/vacuum pump unit.

If you had one of these engines at a machine shop here in the Seasonally Frozen Wastelands, and haven't checked in on it for awhile...you might want to do some investigating.

What's a 55--59 Pontiac engine worth?

Anyone reproducing the "gusher" water distributing tube that goes inside the cylinder head; and would it fit into a '70's OEM head?
