<VV> '65 Monza to Corsa/Turbo

[Mike Stillwell]

 I belive that is a LeVeque Engine - no matter what
the block code is, it's most likely a very fine
engine. 
 BTW - RH's are the most popular block code for race
engines, as they have had much less stressfull lives
than the Std trans blocks. The cam "bearing" surfaces
and main journal closest to the bellhousing are
subject to less wear in their previous life.
