Joe,
I have not lived up north, so I don't know about the harsh winters.
After some sleep, I remember that an old used car lot salesman/
/mechanic bought some 59 Cadillacs for restoration from up north. He
discovered several years later that the blocks were cracked due to
freezing. Now I'm interested as to where this thread goes. Thanks
for the response, Greg Perry

btw, the freeze plugs were intact...go figure, I was told that during
a long deep freeze (Saratoga New York), the engine will freeze and
thaw at different rates, somehow this predisposes the block to
failures not protected by freeze plugs Joe
