if it is the one i'm thinking of..it is block number 1. it was on ebay about a year ago. i think for like 500 bucks.
i thought about buying it for my car, just to say it had it. but i was too far into the one i had.

I don't think a 55 Caribbean block is any different than any other 55 senior blocks, other than it would be stamped with the 5588-????
I would like to know the cast date, Utica number, as well as what Caribbean it came from.

Unless one is a numbers-matching maven, a '55 block is not particularly desirable.
Any '56 block is improved over the '55 and from a building standpoint, if not using the original block, why not build a 374"? Bottom line, $500 is more than I'd pay for a'55 352" core long block (unless it came with the Caribbean intake, carbs, linkage, lines and air cleaner ;>) jack vines
