Hi Jamie
I just measured my B block and I got 7.846 (rear) 7.838 (front) across. I also check my A block 7.830 (rear) and 7.815 (front). So you can see it varies from block to block. The top distributor hole is not chamfered. I picked up a head that needs drilling so I've been playing with the numbers. I also took a solid works class several years ago(2007). Thank you John and Jamie for your help. I have several other engine but these are the two I'm now working on. The B block is interesting because of the lines and other markings on the deck. Al Hubbard 25 years ago commented about them besides not being cracked. The block has never been decked and the bore cleaned up at .030 over, never the mains have never been rebabbitted. Has been a great runner for the last 25 years and a lot of miles.
