Date codes are pending.

By Dave Shoe - 01/09/2002 1:04:13 AM; IP 216.243.158.186

I requested date codes and other markings when I received the photos late Sunday (Jan 6), but also advised I was in no rush.

I'm sure not gonna rush someone that sends cool photos like this. They're proof positive for me that such an animal existed out in the irrigation fields of Texas, and I presently have no reason to believe the production line at the Dearborn Engine Plant would stop if it ran short on a couple sets of crossbolted caps for a hydraulic cammed 427 car engine, thus substituting plain (but "brinnel marked" nodular) caps instead. Not many engine plant employees could be found bowing to the god of thermactor-emissions equipped "race(?)" engines back in early 1968.

I can wait for the sequel (casting info). Until then, I like these photos a bunch.

Shoe.
