dataway = "from my house, your entire engine appears to be matching numbers everything"

Thanks data that's what I was counting on.


johnta1 = We would be interested in more info on your (1) matching number engine.


Thanks for pointing that out John.

I was worried, er uh I mean wondering if you wee going to ask.

Ok, well, it's pretty simple,

It's a bit heavy for the size and seems to be the wrong color blue.

It has the spark plug option delete at present, along with the carb, water, fuel, oil pump etc. etc.

These option deletes were not available till I got hold of it, I'll have to work on that.

As for the performance, lets just say it doesn't miss, and hasn't used a drop of gas.


MarkS57 = Hey, that looks like a numbers matching engine!

Thanks Mark, that's awful gracious considering you obviously realize I'm full a chit.


71 T/A = especially if the last 6 digits of the VIN match

Thanks 71 T/A but the vin doesn't match, this is a case of I wish I had a #'s matching engine, thought I'd have some fun since the block and heads are (day) coded.


Heads from the block pictured above are dated L267, intake date is L167.

The L197 heads on the block above were on a 71 400YX in the car when I got it, they are most likely original to the car.

That was about the only original thing left of the driveline.

Makes one appreciate the term #'s matching engine, not that mine is of course.

Or is it...
