Info needed on old SBC parts

[JK98SS]

A friend is building a 29 Ford 5 window. He build an old 283 to put in it. He came across some neat stuff. Just looking to pick some brains around here for info on them.

If I recall, The block is from a 61 Corvette and 56 heads, or vice versa. The intake is an old Edelbrock tri power set up with factory rebuilt ford carbs.He was told the casting date is March 55. Which should be early production since the sbc came out in 55.




Then the old Corvette covers with the tall, offset bosses.




Going in this project. Not bad for a young guy in his early 20's.



And what year would these old posters be from? He got them at a local auction. World of Wheels #3 in Springfield, IL.
