RE: It sounds like a 1966 engine.

Thank you both for your info.

The car is definitely a GT, so I got that going for me!

Does it sound like then that the original engine that was bolted in the car when built on June 6, '68 (build date according to Marti report) is the one in the car now. Or, does it sound like the engine was later switched by a owner?

I will look harder for #'s/dates on the manifolds.
