Thank you Lavoy for clearing that up for me.

Parts dealing shows a liner listing for both diesel and gas engines.

This is for a 1959 440 IC

Thanks for your input Chuck. Going to need some engine parts as the last owner decided to half dismantle it for no apparent reason then leave it like that for 3 years. Now the fun begins.
