Default Matching numbers block, Rebuild or Crate?

Well, it looks like I've got coolant leaking from the driver's head. :U

Looks like it could be the head gasket but it too hard to tell from the top. I'll get under it tomorrow and see what I can figure out. The engine has 122,xxx on the dial. I'm not sure if it's ever been rebuilt.

So, Crate motor or Rebuild? Thoughts?

i would go with a crate motor. nice reliable, waranteed horsepower :hurray: then take the original motor, drain it, paint it and put it on a stand in your livingroom. :cheers:
