As I said, shame on me for not doing my homework, but No, I didnt know how to tell the difference in the blocks until my builder showed me the other day... I still dont know how to tell if an 010 block is a 302, 327 or a 350.... but i do know how to tell if its a 350 block vs a 400 block now...I have always looked at casting numbers which i couldnt see because of the booster and valve covers and how far back the motor sat in the truck.... even with the valve covers off i had to take a camara and squeeze it in there and take pictures until i got good pics of the casting numbers
