Pulled a really nice 354 poly short block out of the pile at a local steel yard. I believe it came from a Canadian built truck, likely 1 ton or bigger, as the boys said it was in a "grain truck" they scrapped out. Definitely had the poly heads, as I left them in the pile. The domed pistons are notched for both valves, but the notches are offset a bit. It has the stamped timing cover, and the "figure 8" holes in the deck for pushrod clearance. Bought a pair of aluminum Hot Heads to turn it into a real Hemi.
