    Engine Block differences

    Hi all,

    Well stipped the second engine today and put both blocks side by side, engine numbers and plates on rocker covers indicate these engines are 4 months apart, looking in the valley I notice differences in were the lifters go, the following photos are the same spot on each , why is one ground and one not, noting the one that is not ground ( cleaner of the 2 ) is on the engine that has been Appart before and rebuilt, the other is a stock motor

    Looking at the back of the block, the cast fins or webbing if you want to call it that is different too, one is thicker than the other...

    Around the lifters may be part of normal casting variance, as for the webs I got nothing

    There was what is known as a thick web 3.5 block but i cant remember the origin of these, i think they may have been from SD1 Rover era ?
