Early 318 blocks

I agree completely, thanks. I too have read about the "higher dash number blocks" being less desirable. Im waiting on a photo of the balaner to determine cast or forged crank. For that price I think I will grab it, this stuff isn't exactly plentiful any more.

No it's not. If you have the storage space, it wouldn't be a bad idea to start a collection, IMO, of everything you can find.
