A BIG THANK YOU to HOLLENWAY &Fid. I really appreciate the help. I have decided to order the block from Studebaker.
The forum has been very beneficial for me as I continue the adventure of restoring my '54 Manhattan.

It has decided to suddenly turn cold here in west central Wisconsin so it may be a while before work on the '54 will continue. I am getting excited that the restore has been progressing nicely. Will post some photos when I can.
