No crankshafts sorry I have new front covers, heads and intakes
 
All the blocks are the same per the Indy Development team they found the lower pan rails created less windage which made more HP.
 
Deck height on these blocks is 9.547 and yes they have starter pads as you can see in the pictures .

The blocks are the same as my 153 Stage 2 block except for the short pan rails Hopefully this answer all the private messages I have been getting .
 
The first time I saw one of those blocks was at Kenny D's shop about 25 years ago. He had led me to believe they made 50 or less. The backstory he gave me was that they had been intended for use in a TransAm race series of some sort that never got off the ground. He said they were sold by GM as an Olds V6 block. You're description is accurate, they are basically an on center block with the pan rail cut off. They will require a custom oil pan but that's not a big deal.

I may still have a set of the Oldsmobile stage 2 valve covers and an oil pan to fit a block like that.
 
I have a oil pan also and BUICK valve covers can you post a picture of the Olds valve covers That would be interesting to see
 
I know where a set of olds and a set of pontiac indy valve covers are for sale
 
I’ll try to get some. I found a set of the olds covers on eBay this week as well.
 
Any pictures of the Indy block? I had everything to build a Indy motor minus a block . The guy who I sold the stuff yo might be interested. Post up pics of the Indy please
 
The Indy block is the first block on the cart.
