I just got back from the auction. #54 block was worse then you could imagine. Not only blown in the crank area, but also looked like it froze. Inner and outer water jackets badly broken out on both banks. I agree with the "piece of history" though. I stopped bidding at 5k - coffee table got too expensive!
I picked up a few parts. Lots of mis-marked stuff (marked NOS and was used). One thing that looked OK (for the right price) on tomorrow's auction - #1022 curved neck radiator for automatic with a "B" date (no tag). I don't need it, but maybe one of you could use it.
