Re: Casting numbers
Sounds like the "Hecho En Mexico" Goodwrench 350...
Like Apeiron said, trash heads, but a decent block core. Flat-tappet cam in it probably; most likely a 929. Pistons will be SUPER low-compression.
Good block casting core; but when rebuild time comes (or even, the "more power Scotty" bug) the rest goes into the dumpster.

Re: Casting numbers
One piece seal means that it is fitted for a roller can I believe. That would be a nice upgrade, and it's a good block.

Re: Casting numbers
It only means that it has a 1 piece RMS for certain. Those blocks have cast-in provisions for factory roller cams, and most of them have the machine work done to finish them, but not all of them have all of the necessary parts installed.

Re: Casting numbers
You can put a roller cam in any block. It' just cheaper if you can use all the factory stuff.
