Stop in for a cup of coffee

I’m feeling dumber by the second. Theres a pic^^ a few posts up. View attachment 1715132413That the casting number we after?
I drove car into shop, pulled engine. It ran nice.
Was in a 59 dodge regent/manual transmission. Someone obviously went to a great deal of trouble to mate it to that transmission. Which i guess im trying to undo.
I think before i spend a dime on this i may just go look at a low mileage engine on kijiji. Or pop the 360 magnum in,efi and all.
Too many options.im calling it a wrap for now. Budget build out the window...
Take a pic of your block casting number. That's an early 80s head number. I'm wondering if someone didn't swap the poly heads out and put LA heads on it at some point. Being that it's out of a 59 with a manual transmission. That's likely a poly block and rotating assembly.
