Default Re: Chevy engine blocks origin ?

At St. Catharines blocks would come down line upside down. Bore size was stamped on pan rail ( A,B,C ) etc. Workers would choose matching piston-rod assembly and install main bearings. Then place in order beside engine. Then we would pop them in and install cap and nuts.

If there ever was a mass produced corporate small block engine better than the Chevy's that were built in St.Kitts I haven't seen it.

Those end-gaps move around until they find their happy place anyway.
