Yes, it is a 153 on-center motor, it's the best of the best blocks. It is actually the block I was supposed to get for a former TSO customer of mine, but the deal fell through at the last minute, when the block owner disappeared for a year and left me in a very bad position...

 That TSO customer...was it your good friend "TedA"?  Anyways, I thank you Jack, for giving me the opportunity to get my hands on such a great motor! If it wasn't for you, this could not have been possible! So "153"... it's the block casting # right? Thanks and talk to you soon, Claude.

I picked up the car last Saturday and yes it's got a "nasty", almost intimidating sound...I'll be back at Jack's shop sometime next spring for a little fine tuning and to fix a few little "bugs" that are almost inevitable after some big modifications. Now that winter is coming, it'll be time for some (actually A LOT !) powdercoating, ceramic coating, chrome, more detailing, etc... See 'ya! Claude.

With the help of my son, I removed a bunch of parts to send them either ceramic coated (mostly exhaust parts) or chromed...
well, the T/A stainless steel headers as well as the 4" downpipe Brian made are back from the ceramic coating and look simply g-o-r-g-e-o-u-s !! (see pics below). I'll post more pictures when everything (ceramic coated & chromed parts) is back on the car...see 'ya! Claude.
