Default L78 CE Crawlspace find

Found last weekend and have it at home. CE 396 L78. Shortblock, appears to have never been run. It is supremely coated in grease. It was in a crawl space under a house wrapped in plastic. Dated 72. 4 bolt, 3/8 dimple rods, forged pistons, 6223 crank. No sign of any heads ever installed, pistons are as new, no black on top, cross hatching in cylinders is very bold. Built in a 290 block. Odd. All the paint dabs are on the rod nuts across the caps etc. Nice find. I almost broke my back moving this out of the crawlspace.
