Well , I have found , and I just set a deal with a guy for an actual 71
block, that u are talking about, ends in 230, dated 7-30-71   and has
never been bored, ,  it has its original bore, and the guy is nice enuf
to hold it for 45 days on a 25 dollar deposit.I wont tell u what he wants
for the whole thing , but i think its a steal. One more question, whats
all this "cold weather block" stuff I hear about. My Senatore book
mentions this and says the numbers on the block are larger than normal,
how large is that, these letters look much bigger than normal.
