65 engine stamp
I have a friend looking at a 65 conv. He is being told it is the original block, although there are some engine parts that are not original that I was able to determine. Does seem like it would be original?
870 block cast date k254
engine stamp 5104552 FI204HF
300hp 4speed.

Dave - As already mentioned, if you or your friend can supply us with some clear up-close pics, you'll get a lot of help from the Forum Members. As to the HE designation, that's listed as the base 250 horse engine with Manual Trans, the HF was listed for the next option up, the 300 horse 327 also with Manual Trans. Here's the front stamped pad from my 65 300 horse Coupe, the VIN is just a bit before the roadsters VIN.
