Thanks for all the replies and suggestions.

I have read that the nickel content is not higher but the casting is a bit thicker and the mains are wider. Stronger than stock but not BOSS strong. It's been mag and pressure tested and the decks checked. I need to see the documents for that as well as photos of the block numbers before I move ahead.

My other option is to build using the current block which overheated and locked up on the way home from the purchase of the car. Read: No option.
