It's a very early WB statesman block. Maybe the last number should be zero not eight.

You only have to be in front at the end of the race. |

WB Deville, but I don't think it is a valid WB engine number. Look harder at it again. WB should be at least 6 digits (after the 11WB). |

Shouldn't a WB Statesman engine prefix be 11WTxxxxxx ?
A 1978 casting number is also a bit odd for a WB block.

If at first you don't succeed, just call it Version 1.0 |

Hq blocks started with 1001 so I don't see why the WB blocks didnt do the same. James |

Correct, I just assumed he read that wrong! |

They didn't. Number sequence started at either VB Commodore release or with HZ engine numbers. Evidence points to most likely Commodore. |
