?? I did not quote you- one of my sentences paraphrased one your yours, then added a lot more info. As far as "failing to mention" cooling problems, I was not aware of any systemic problem. I have not owned a Gen V BBC, although I have had 10+ Gen IV and Gen VI. Right now I have 4 Gen VI engines- 2 in boats, 1 in Suburban and one in the garage that is a project motor.
Maybe you are thinking of the intake manifold leaks that sometimes occur on Gen VI in trucks? Antifreeze weeps down into the oil gallery. Lots of people know about this on the 350 Vortec engines, but it also happens on the 454 more frequently than it should.

So basically if there is a fuel pump on the side and isn't a bowtie(chevy emblem) what would it be? Original motor? Can't see if there is a bowtie at this point as motors are still in boat.
