It's some sort of big block of 65-67 vintage. It's DEFINITELY a cast iron block painted silver-----aluminum big blocks do not use conventional freeze plugs. Plus, the casting "texture" does not look to be aluminum, anyway.In Appreciation of John Hinckley- Top

Looks like a big block with aftermarket pan
If you notice the driver's side pan rail, you see plugs along the oil galley like a BBC.
The top of the deck has a dip between #1 and #3, #5 and #7, #2 and #4, and #6 and #8.
Three freeze plugs in side.
Oil line connections over filter.
Front lifter valley edge is nearly straight.
Cylinders have valve reliefs cut.
Can't tell, but don't think there are reinforcing risers inside the lifter valley.
Of course, Michael has already said it is a BBC painted silver, as has Joe.- Top

Re: Yeah, it's an aluminum small block with a BB
It's DEFINATELY a big block and it's NOT aluminum. Looks like somebody's been in the spray paint to me. Also, it's got open chamber pistons in it, so I'm guessin' it's an LS7 crate motor, painted silver, probably headed for a boat with what looks to be an early Mercruiser oil pan.- Top

cast iron BBC you can tell by the head gasket
on the passenger side it has the little extension for the extra head bolts used in the ZL-1 engines BUT there are no extensions on the block. it is not a 65 as it does not have the ribs running from the timing gear cover area to the intake manifold front rail area. JMHO- Top
