There is a 409 engine currently on eBay (https://www.ebay.com/itm/202271259089?ul_noapp=true) that I'm having trouble fixing it's identity.
I was contemplating purchasing this engine to put in a tri-five Chevy 3100 truck.
Is it likely that this engine has the dreaded cylinder cuts for a lower compression truck engine?
The block is listed as 3857656, which could be either car or truck according to info I've found
The heads are listed as 3819333 which I find to be truck heads
The exhaust manifold is listed as 3767583 which is a car mainifod.
The dipstick is definitely on the right side of the engine.
The photos show a bell housing that looks like it might have been from a large industrial truck.
Any help in identifying if this were actually a car engine would be appreciated.
Thanks,
