I want to see the first 2x4 that Petty used to stay in the seat at Daytona testing that year---I may have used it to get my mules attention and then I don't know what I did with it--

I agree, it certainly appears to be the real thing and likely one of the first Hemi blocks ever cast and used, but I don't see any way you could ever officially call it THE first. There were probably multiples cast, machined, build, shipped, and installed in race cars the very same day, if that were the case (which it likely was) which one of these would be called "the first"?
Cool block either way, would love to see many more pics showing the entire sides, etc.
