360-1 Casting better?

@oi81b4uu812b4 .....So whats the inside scoop on the core numbers? The smoother resto 340 castings used the new sand and the production motors got the ****? Sound about right to me. Seems they would be sifting out the crap with every recycle. Wonder if the lower production numbers of the IH cast 318's had any better surface finish. That would be a great field trip, to a casting plant.
I believe the patterns wear and become rough... those numbers indicate which pattern mold was used in the pour.

I'll call my son Tonite and ask him about the texture deal.
