This just came up in another thread, does your block have large T's on the side? Apparently some do & some do not, so let's see if we can figure out why.

Please post a photo showing your casting date, both sides of your block & the engine serial number (not to be confused with the VIN number) with the engines final assembly date on the front of the block if you can also.

If you have a 'leftover' TA block used in the 1971 model year or one of the 355 cid 340 TA race blocks sold over the counter in later years, please join in also.

Thanks to Chet for the use of his photos showing the large "T".

Passenger side first;
