Hi guys,

I was hoping I can get pointed in the right direction, I own a G35 and have been contemplating an engine swap for a good year now and I figured I would like to build a motor with the LS design.. I went and bought the rebuild your ls engine book and I was looking for a shortblock and piecing together the parts myself... I ended up buying this



What do I need to know before starting? Its a gen4 iron block. It had a small rust spot on a non critical part and basically I was able to steal this for a great price. Is there any stamping that I should look for to help me identify exactly what this was made for?
