Well I found a site with casting numbers and went to several salvage yards searching for a block. Came across one thats a 014. According to the information given its an early 70's camaro block. It was siezed up but for 50 bucks. Worth it or not?

You can always price out scrap metal and see if you'll come out even if you do buy it and its no good...

so the electronic distributor out of a say 80's model 5.7 should work the reason i'm asking im swapping a 4.3 for a 350 in my c1500 truck which is tbi and it would be easier to use a distributor that just plugs up to my harness
