What is "SOP"? Plus, the person who originally rebuilt this Engine, post factory, knew what they were doing, now that I hear things like this!

Here is what they did:
(1) Pistons on backwards, a racer thing.
(2) Water Jackets are blocked in certain areas along the Block only, did not see any ones blocked on the Heads. Pontiac modification, for lack of better terms!
(3) This 1967 Pontiac 428 ci HO is supposed to have a Quadrajet Carb., However this one uses the 1966 Intake and Tri-power ones!
(4) Should have a 066,067,068 type Cam, this came with the 1956 only Tri-power Cam, that can only be purchased over the counter, generally racers would know this!
(5) This Block bears special #'s and letters, by the second builder, on the P.S front left side of the Head, upside down and along the left edge. STANDARD OPERATING PROCEDURE, JUST FIGURED IT OUT ,THANKS
