Chrome dipstick? I thought the factory ones were painted block color?

You would be correct on that one!

Maybe this will help with the discussion. Though not a K code it is a period new engine that might give some insight in to the way they were equipped

Hope this helps a bit

Learn something new every day. I was only 4 when this engine was built. I was told by a former insurance quy that worked on the Detroit engine assembly line that they all had them. I don't know

IMHO this appears to be a NOS service replacement engine. Obviously whoever buys it will have to go through it. So, my request is this. If an eKschange member buys this, PLEASE POST SOME PICS of what is inside. I would like to know if there is a HP marking on the back of the block and whether there is a polished area on the rear counterweight of the crankshaft etc.

My NOS HIPO service replacement block had the HP marking, but there was not a polished area on the crankshaft. It has been discussed on this forum. See link below.
