You say your B block deck seems thicker than normal . English Dagenham blocks have a thicker deck by about 1/16" to avoid cracking which the Detroit blocks suffer from . Does it have any casting marks on it such as"GS" and a date .Some do some dont . The Dagenham block is very robust and not prone to cracking . The rear main setup is also different . Returning USA service men brought English cars into USA the "B" engine retro fit was common .
