It's not a 53 block. It says it's a 54 casting. No issue there. But that doesn't speak anything to the shape of the block itself.

Looks like a STORM block from 97-02 trucks or whenever for off road stuff.

It look's like it has more beef to it then my other engine's. And all the holes for the oil line's that go to the injection and vacuum pump are sae not npt.

This^
It's obviously not a CR block, lack of webbing on the side. It's got the 2 freeze plugs down by the oil pan into the crank case so like Travis said its the newer block. The older ones only have 1 freeze plug into the crank case. So it's also got 12mm mains.
And yes the oil feed to the injection pump and such are different.

I haven't been around marine/generator engines much but I've never seen a block like that with 14mm mains.

it should be 12, if it had 14mm mains it would have the extra freeze plug, and only one turbo oil drain on the passenger side of the block

I think they made a 14mm main storm block but I have never seen one so it could be just hearsay.

I hope it's a good block to use for my build. When i get home it's all ready to install the 6.7 crank carrillo rod's and pistons in it. I still need to get the cam on the way so i can check for clearance with the rods.
