BTW thats not a new engine as they list, its rebuild. looks at the ring of staining around the water jackets plus rust inside them, paint on the exhaust ports is another obvious one. They paint the blocks before commencing machining. Also the sump is stock holden, US engine have totally differnt and odd looking sumps.

I say its had the SC added to a rebuilt engine.
