[DeTomaso] engine question

[Paul - Home]

You can't tell if it is a 4 bolt block without dropping the pan.  The 
same casting number is used for the 2 bolt and 4 bolt blocks.

As for the heads, based on the Edelbrock number I would guess that it 
has 4V heads.  This is likely what the buyer is asking (4V vs 2V). 
Though in reality the buyer should also be asking if the heads are 
open-chamber or closed-chamber.
