I don't think so. I don't consider stationary engines and irrigation motors the norm. The casting numbers aren't the same in most cases, so it would probably be harder to find one of those. I think the marine engines were all crossbolts, not sure about the screw in freeze plugs, but again, they have a non car number. The claim was that it was pulled from a Galaxy. Not exactly the place to find any type of irrigation/marine engine. NO casting number is visible in the pics, but that's not too unusual, I've seen several blocks that don't. It does have the later motor mount pads, instead of the early 2 bolt ones. I'd think that the "secondary" usage engine would have still had the 2 bolt mounts.
