283 cylinder bore clearanced for cast crank photo

Looking for a photo that shows the bottom of 283 cylinders that was clearance by factory, when they started using cast crankshafts. Need to check my model year 64’ block. My understanding is all 283 blocks were machined this was once implemented. The cast cranks have larger throws requiring this.

Thanks,
Les

I dont have the pics, but here goes....the early 283,s, had a flat spot in the block @the bottom of the bores. There was a half moon cut or cast into the bottom in the later yrs. I want to say 64 or 65, on the yr but its been a while! The good blocks would accept a 327 crank, & many would bore .125 over, to make a 327. Longhorn

Not sure if this will show up, but David Vizard's classic book covers some discussion, but I think a lot of it was about the 327 and requirements for clearing the longer stroke:
