I believe you have been miss informed. I don't think there is a superstock hemi out there that runs a 45 year old block. Any block that Mopar sells that they consider a replacement block is legal for superstock....P5155072...P5153942....and the P5153943. The 943 block allows the engine builder to put the lifter bore any where he wants to!
