Block Markings
Known for a long time the Small Blocks were produced in MEXICO but reality set in when I uncrated my NEW ZZ4. Was taking pics of all markings and the rear block casting below will definately NOT fool anyone at the NCRS 
or anyone else

Could that maybe mean assembled in Mexico.??
Or do they in fact have Foundries that make the castings south of the border..??
Inquiring minds would like to know..

ALL Gen-1 350 small-block castings (and finish-machined assemblies and engines, crate motors, etc.) come from Toluca, and have for many years.
Their current production engine castings (they have about 32 different engines these days) come from both Mexican and U.S. foundries.
