One of my blocks' serial # starts with *19S, other two start with 19S.
All have different configurations of cast in (raised) logos, one has big square lugs where the motor mounts bolt up. One has a big H just aft of the serial # pad, another has an EB logo there. Two are thick web mains. All came with dished pistons, two had forged rods. One came with a 12 bolt four bearing head, one with a ten bolt four bearing head, one with a ten bolt three bearing head. It's hard telling what their life histories are, all seemed to be quite sad when they got here... The one that came in the Kadett was even tragic. Only thing usable there was the block which was not stock bore size.
I'll have the shop heated up and working tomorrow, will get pics of the two blocks that are candidates for the new race car engine.
