The casting # wasn't changed for NO reason.

Anybody done a weight comparison?

I'll post a pic of a 76WX block - way more meat than was around the mains of the 557. Heck, the 557 is so poorly cast under the main caps that you can't add standard four bolt main caps - they'd drill through. I'll post a pic.
