MT. CAT Report post Posted October 22, 2014 How do you know its a 53 block by just looking? With 240k its definitely had a vp44 or two installed. There only 1k. Fred Swanson is the bomb transmission builder out of Waddell. Fully built, triple disk torque converter, with all the goodies for a great price and a 3 year warranty. As long as the motor hasn't been molested that has a lot of potential. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

NoBull350 Report post Posted October 22, 2014 Odds are in favor of it having a 53 block. There r two ways to check for the 53 block . Most have the 53 stamped on the block under the vp 44 ( injection pump ) at bottom of the block where the oil pan bolts to the block . There is a cluster of wires that run across In that general area but usually the 53 jumps right out at you. It can also be stamped on the opposite side next to where the oil dip stick goes in to the block. As far as the vp 44 goes I wouldn't sweat it . The vp has a bad name but IMO lift pump failure is what usually kills the vp . I have a 99 with 189 k that has the original vp in it . Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
