I'll bet he is either in, or under his car. Getting ready for that monster motor! :D

Your right, there are some tell tale signs, but I cant remember all of them. Big blocks had a different rear if I remember right also.

That day we were at Steves he showed me something under the rear which for some :conehead reason I can't remember.. I know my tach is a 6000 Redline which makes it a 350/350, but I just thought I'd check...

Cap style yokes on the diff. I was told small block cars had u-bolts on the yokes and big block cars had cap style.

Yep, I've been out scrubbing at the interior prepping it for carpet. I need to get this interior done so I can start yanking the engine and tranny out. This car consumes me, I swear.
