What is it?
Saw this on E-bay today. Seller say it's a D1VE 460 Block. Something just don't look right. 4 bolt mains? Different oil filter location? Strange looking main cap on # 5. Take a guess!!

[updated:LAST EDITED ON 01-13-03 AT 04:27 PM (EST)]Looks like a mislabeld 350 4 bolt Chevy motor. A newer one at that. You can see the oil pump pad in the middle of the rear cap. Also notice the oil dipstick tube cast into the block just in front of the oil filter pad?

That was my first opinion of it but didn't want to insert my foot into my mouth.

Although the block looks to be GM from the underside.
The top view clearly shows the hole for the Distributor to be at the front of the block.

Sorry Dennis, that is the rear of the block, and a chebby block at that. I wonder if the seller posted the wrong pics with the listing, which is entirely possible. I also have to wonder if the buyer bought it because the pic showed 4 bolt main caps, which are not standard on D1VE blocks. $200 seems kinda steep for a std. D1VE block.

I'll need another look then.
I took it upon myself to e-mail the guy before he gets stuck.
I also invited him to read this thread.
Watch for him.

Hope he didn't get stuck with it. I don't see how a seller could make that kind of mistake. Buyer beware.
