Do you really think a "seasoned" engine block is better than NEW?
All of my rebuilts over the years, and I am old, have developed a leak somewhere, and the NEW crate engines from GM are still sealed tight and have not even had a valve cover off!!
Free shipping to a business address is a plus!

For the normal street.....probably makes no difference at all.

I wonder what that 383 roller short block would make
with my 2.02 heads and a 350hp winters intake and Holley 600 on it?
Sleeper look with some poop
......Any guesses?

And I've been thru Klein Engines shop in Phoenix, they had 50 very rusty blocks sitting outside that they use to build their sprint car small blocks. AND their race engines run $28k to $44,000 each.
The Pros use seasoned blocks.

seasoned to me is a fancy term for "old" lol
old lifter bores, who knows on line hones etc
Good machinist doesnt matter but prefer new
To each their own
Dont think GM even sells new Gen 1 or 2 blocks anymore?

I've been in Grumpy's shop, he let the blocks sit out in the sun & rain too.

All PS pumps are located on the driver's side of the engine. Check the AIM, RPO N40, sheets A2 and A6. Good luck with the the new motor.
