There's somethin you don't see every day. Now what'd I do with that JB Weld?
And I always liked a 302.

Acutally it's funny - when I was growing up - my dad was into ski boat racing from Long Beach to Catalina Island... he never completed a race cause he always blew a piston... I think he went thru 3 different blocks before mom made him buy a house and stop racing...

In any case - the point to this - he turned the 3 blocks he ended up junking into flower pots. It was so rad growing up with big block 454's in the yard -- kinda like a grave yard... ;D

So that's how they make the 4 cylinder ricer motors I knew there was a good use for half of a V8 block.
