I just bought my '72 minus engine and trans. The vin shows the car cam with a 402. I would like to start keeping my eye out for a motor. Am I correct in looking for a 3999290 casting# block? Did any '290 blocks come 4 bolt or were they all two? Also can anyone tell me what to look for to buy the correct trans. i.e. casting #s on case? The car is a 4 spd not an auto.
Thanks
Chris
