hello, I live in the Usa, mass, to be specific and yes they do have the crankcase breather stubs on them but my confusion is with the block more than anything. How can a block have the number 211 and be used for a square when it should have a number designation of 311? I understand that the bus and the type III had the cross bar in all but I just find that strange more than anything. I am wondering whether or not if any one else has had that same thing happen to them. Thank you everyone for the input on this. :-) dennis 73 square (work in progress) --- Russ wolfe <russella@prairieinet.net> wrote: > On Sat, 2003-11-29 at 10:12, dennis perusse wrote: > > > Now on the head the number reads 311.101.370 G > and > > on the underside of that, if you will, reads the > > number 74 on it.
