Geoff...I'll add to your post as well. I bought a 454 long block engine off a friend of mine this past fall. It too was a 289 block 291 heads and also has CRR deck stamping and no vin #. He's had it for at least 20+ years just collecting dust and was never decked or rebuilt. I'll have to take a better look at it when I return home from Afghan-land in a month or two. It just seemed really odd about the motor and the stampings but this may shed some light....Thanks
