[Chevelle-list] 396/325

If it has been wrapped up for the past 20 years I'd see if it'll turn over.
I'd pull the pan and check at least one main and one rod bearing for any
rust.  Maybe get it in writing that if (when) you pull the heads that there
won't be any rust buildup around the rings.  I'm sure it hasn't been kept in
a temperature controlled environment for 20 years.  The #3916323 casting is
a 68 block, makes me curious as to why no numbers were ever stamped on it. ?
