the one which is in better condition ;^P  judging from the bores.  also what head do you have, get the block that matches what head u have, u can use either head on either block by plugging a few holes

bah, the guy's tryin' to douche on me. His add said 250, now he's saying $300 + 50 for the crank pistons et al, and he's only got the hydraulic one left.
