Did you notice that both those V-8's have the #1 spark plug wires stuck onto a head bolt stud? This must signify that they have not had their final timing set yet.
The second engine appears to be a 'ZN' 400 intended for a 'B' body.
But what is the other display V-8 with A/C & a cruise control servo? Not positive, but I'm thinking it's a '70 400 intended for a 'B' body?

Here's a couple more assembly line pics, as well as one of the Fremont Plant. Not sure where I got these.

Also, looks like the blue car is missing the shaker.

Wouldn't you like to be standing there in real life?

And I'd say that neither TA has had the bumper bird decal installed yet either.
It appears the White TA has some extra scribbling on the right rear tire.
