why would you want to not use a roller block?? most of the time the classic guy want to build 289s with roller blocks and grind the lip off the crank

ill bet youll have rear main seal problems since the late model crank doenst have the lip

don't believe it'll work since the lip is not there.

^ yup yup.

you can grind down the lip on an old crank and put it in a new block, but you can't put a new crank in an old block.
