RE: a little more info...

Watch on the casting numbers as they will both excite and confuse you. These Chris Craft blocks are the ones cast as side oilers but never machined as such. They will carry side oiler casting numbers (as side oiler molds were used to cast the blocks). The easiest way to tell is to aks the seller to look on the left side of the engine just above each crossbolt. If it is a SO then there will be 3 small hexplugs in the bulge, one above each crossbolt.
You are basically buying this for the block as the heads and intake are basic 352 type low performance stuff. A good clean standard bore block is hard to find though and this one may be well worth it. A lot of these are solid lifter engines so you may get the adjustable rocker are set up if so.
Good luck
