Also mine is # matching im guessing it was a fac. clone. Mine also has the emission sticker that say,s 350ci 360-370 hp spec,s for 1970 year this car is a real hard one to figure out
The car is 43 years old. Why is it so hard to believe that someone may have changed some parts here and there?

Hi Scott,
I just noticed you mentioned the carb and intake.
It would be interesting to know the date codes on them. The carb is easy, but the intake a bit more difficult since it's on the underside.
That information would be an indication of WHEN all these parts COULD have joined each other.
Regards,
Alan

PS: I've heard of 'tribute' cars, and 'clone' cars, but what is a 'fac. clone'?

Perhaps it has something to do with the
...solid roller lifters?

I have heard lots of tall tales in the past, most do not pan out, but occasionally one does.
Still no documentation or other information to make any determination from this guy.

Show us this stuff and we can tell you exactly what you have. Otherwise we are guessing and you are dreaming.

The two other guys before you with exactly the same claim never managed to post any pics and have since disappeared (imagine that).

Surely you're not going to be #3?
