call your machine shop and have him tell you if it is a 3in main or a 2 1/2 main crank.If a 3in main crank it wil fit in any 400 block.If a 2 1/2 main good luck finding a block as they only made 25 of them.If a 3in main you can use and RA V head but need a RA V 400 intake.If a 3in main you can also use any std pontiac or aftermarket head and intake.A set of RA V heads and intake in this market is in the 9K range IF you can even find them forsale.Tom

the crank has 3 inch mains. The crankshaft shop's foreman just happened to be there and said it would clean right up with a .010 cut. I am not sure of the stroke length, but it appears VERY short. The bobweights are also very small. Wish I could tell you all more, but the stuff ought to be back in a week or so, andf then we will be able to ascertain which direction to go. Thanks for all the replies, and pics will be forthcoming. I see a set of Tiger Wideports in my near future. Blocks are easy to come by so this looks like a good one to build! My machinist is going to balance and assemble the parts so all I have to do is locate a block and add heads of choice when the bottom end is built. This ought to be a LOT of fun.
