thanks.what was the last year for the thicker castings on these?wasnt it 78!or was that just the truck blocks?

Don't remember any thicker castings other than increased webbing on the Boss and Mexican blocks.
Here's a great site with more good specs.

Never really heard much about better casting 302 blocks, asside from the ones cast in Mehico. On a 351 Windsor the desirable castings are 69-74. The castings were thinned considerably starting in 75.

Question, what is a way I could identify a 351 windsor block

Also, does anyone happen to have a "cheap" rotating assembly? I would really like to put this together as checp as possible.
