I wonder if they have changed the casting or not.
The 363 that Woody has just built me is in a Ford racing Boss 302 block. He might be the man to speak to about whether the casting has changed or not.
I thought he only used Dart blocks. Any way, no issue. Obviously it is no issue, I might ask him when I see him next.
I will someday think of something clever to say.

Originally it was going to be a dart block but then he said he got his hands on a new ford block so used it instead. Still haven't organized to get it sent down my way yet but he said it looks pretty schmick and even has boss 302 stamped into it, which I think will be a nice touch in the engine bay. Hopefully it is as good or better then the dart block.

The ford aftermarket Windsor boss 302 block is an excellent block - a little very little less expensive than the dart block - far far better than the stock block. At 1000+ HP rated you will not be breaking it any time soon.
