I search around the web for about an hour last night, and I could not find a casting number for the years 80-93. I am looking at a bare 351w block and he says it came out of a car in the 80s. I am just making sure I know what year it is. I know I could check the height from the freeze plugs. Its one inch correct?

Is there any reason why I shouldn't buy a 351w block that came out of the 80s?
