My sources tell me that you want a TRUCK block!!!! Even tho the dimensions are the same truck blocks were a unique casting much more heavy duty than a passanger car block------No way of knowing either way what is true but it makes sense to me get the truck block!!!! --------------Comp 387

My sources tell me to look at website ---428cobrajet.org----------- look for block ID--it gives you a fairly indepth description of what you neecd to know/look for too---comp 387
