I have no idea and I really don't care. What do you keep coming back to that? Did you lose it and need me to give it to you again?

Shut up already and worry about your deal. You keep shooting yourself in the foot. It is really clear that between midsouth and burnskustoms that they tell great things about what they own with zero proof. Let the chips fall where they may. You will come out looking good, IF you keep on point.

Me either.I would want proof before paying any money.

all the crap in this thread could have been avoided if everybody buying would do there do diligence( do your damn research) I own these books and would strongly recomend anybody dealing in buying or selling buy a set one for stamping & one for castings. all this crap could have been avoided http://motors.shop.ebay.com/dale_wil...911.m270.l1312

Did anyone count the number of freeze plugs on the side of the block? A 400 + .030 = 406 will have three freeze plugs per side all other small blocks have only two. Also a 406 is external balanced and should have an external balance dampener and flexplate. Should be easy enough to tell by getting underneath the van. You do have a floor jack and some jackstands don't you?

AMEN!

I believe some 400's have 2 freeze plugs as well. The 511 has 3 plugs for sure..Depends on the casting. I could be wrong though.

Balancer is the dead give away unless they claim it is an aftermarket crank balanced internally.

If you can read them I always look at the casting number of the block.

I could not get to the freeze plugs to see them the way the frame on the van was made. I did look at the balancer and I did tell him it was not a 400 balancer it was an aftermarket balancer.
