    The above info is all wrong. The 232 engines is bored 3-9/16" with a stroke of 3-7/8" The 262 is bored 3-9/16 with a stroke of 4-3/8". Starting in 1951 they made the blocks wider because they came out with the 308 engine, bore 3-13/16" with a stroke of 4-1/2 inch. 1948 to 1950 heads will not work on engines from 1951 up. They are narrow blocks, while 51 up are wide blocks. All cylinder heads are 2 inches thick are can safely be decked 0.060 Thousands.

    To clarify - 1948 to 1950 blocks are all identical. 1951 to 1954 blocks with 3-9/16" bores are also identical. The difference capacities are obtained by using different cranks and pistons. The 3-13/16" blocks are Hornet only.

    Yes, that's what I stated when I said '51-54 3-9/16 blocks are identical. 232 and 262 engines use different cranks and pistons.
