    How do I verify a R302 or A4 block?

    I have been offered a 1995 Mustang. The seller’s wife tells me:
    I'll check with him on all that info but I know that the body is in pretty good shape (or last I looked at it was) In my opinion would need a paint job. The interior is Tan and DIRTY!!! Windshield is cracked. The rest I'll let him answer. Other than I think he is listing it (whenever he gets around to listing it) for $1000. I'll take pics this weekend and email them to you along with the rest of the info.
    Gt 40x heads
    3030 crane cam
    1.72 roller rockers
    Cobra upper and lower intake
    SVO block
    75mm TB??
    Cold air intake
    So, if it is really a SVO block, it will be an A4 or R302 casting. How do I verify it is really a R302 or A4 block. I am thinking he just pulled a Cobra engine and stuck in his car. If it is really a R302 block, should I offer the full amount? If it is not a R302, how much do you think it is worth? I don't need another car, but a good deal is hard for me to resist.

    Check The Casting Numbers. If Memory Serves Me It Will End In Either R-302 Or A4. It Could Be A Sportsman Block Also. Im Not Sure What The Casting Numbers Are On The Sportsman Blocks Though

    B50 casting on the sportsman blocks I believe
    If its got an SVO 4-bolt the block is obviously worth more than the asking price.
    Good luck, hope you get a deal.
