    Slightly different tooling/gaging/part registration system in the machining process between Flint and Tonawanda, like the drilled/tapped front oil gallery and external plug on a Flint block that isn't on a Tonawanda block. Plants were allowed some latitude in process details as long as it didn't affect the compatibility of bolt-on parts.
    on BBC 366 truck engines that drilled and tapped passage into the oil gallery was used to supply oil to the air brake compressor and i wonder if that was the reason for it on the SBC

      I haven't either, but I've seen lots of Tonawanda 539's.
