What help do you need?
you have casting numbers which identify the blocks.A 599 block is the one everyone wants crack free to start with

The 599 block is a non squirt block (No piston coolers) and has the large outer main bearing bolts
I have seen these in the 1994 Burbs and pickups.

A crack free 599 block is a good find.....

The Block being referenced as "929" .....This is the last 3 digits of a 6.5 diesel block....Circa 1993
