Is there one that is more valuable or desirable then the rest?

Hey Rob... for those of us not too keen on engine talk, could you explain the differences amongst tall, short, wet and dry blocks?

Thanks!

Short is a standard passenger car block, tall deck is a tad taller, for trucks, wet means it has water passages and dry means it does not.

Some had the word Yenko on the front, others had the Yenko crest.

Thanks Tom.

If a motor does not have water jackets for cooling, how is cooled? By the oil?

You run nothing. In the DH funnycar I did not run any, as the large amounts of alcohol circulating kept things cool long enough to make a pass.

Interesting, thanks!

Some of the blocks were 4.250 bore and some were 4.440 bore. Any idea how many of each were produced/sold? I'd be surprised if anyone knew but I thought I would throw the question out there.
