Just to add a bit to my initial review. If it was in fact a 348 block then I had many opportunities to drive my friend's '61 chevy (with a genuine 348 with factory tri-power and 4.11s) in moving it from one parking lot to another at UCLA. Of course I always got my foot in it and it really hauled ass. I saw another car like that the other day (a '62 with a 409), kinda like to have that '62.
