FYI fellow readers -- this 78 block has the 2 threaded bosses required for installing in a '65 C-body.

Thanks for pointing that out-
I think the oil pan has to be changed as this has a “402” pan that does not have the idler arm pocket. But with an oil pan change this will drop into the early cars that use the “wrap around” mount bracket. I think I have the correct pan for that too.

Yes. I built this for my ‘69 300 but have a health issue that requires money and time to beat, hence the sale.
