421 Block - Sevice Replacement?
A friend just bought a 1964 421 block, standard bore,. Faint code on the front. He was wondering if its an SR block. Either way, its a cool score. Pics below:

I never realized that the 64 motors did not use a full length windage tray and still had the bell housing reinforcement ribs from the 425 trophy motors.

The PY Online Forums is the largest online gathering of Pontiac enthusiasts anywhere in the world. Founded in 1991, it was also the first online forum for people to gather and talk about their Pontiacs. Since then, it has become the mecca of Pontiac technical data and knowledge that no other place can surpass.
