Engine Markings
Greetings,
I have been working on cleaning the engine of my 67 Coupe, and under the grease and grime I came across what looks to be a date written in yellow paint on both sides of the lower block. It looks to be either 3A14 or 314. If it is in fact a date, the date would correspond with my serial number and tank sticker. Per the previous owner the engine had never been taken out! I didn't see anything on this in a search, so I thought I would post a picture of it and get your thoughts
Thanks,
Pat

HE was probably written on there during assembly. Block was upside down at the time it was written ! Good find. Always neat to see these markings that have survived.
