Note the spark plugs are in the engine before paint: See how the converter is mounted on the crank...not placed in the trans before install: Check out the cool build sheet on the front of the engine as it went down the line: Fun to look at. Troy ....there is nothing like driving my 1968 Hemi Dart around town and having people looking at you like you're nuts!!

Notice the /6 motor further down the page shows the rear of the motor and the torque converter connected to it and engine paint on the torque coverter.

I agree milestone engines are always special and do not follow the std process for marketing photo's. Do not base a restoration based on this milestone engine. MMC/ ICCA Detroit.
