No problem just wanted to know they did show a suffix for a corvette
high performance HM FOR a 1965 corvette 365 HP A/C MT Trans
with that code the clock thru me off maybe I can get a better picture on build date behind dist. Any way its in the 57 truck I bought
It worried me it didn't have a fan blade only an electric fan and a electric fuel pump that I didn't like but seemed to work well with new AC unit .Put it through the test today it was very hot .So used to corvettes for years.
I have gotten advise here for years I don't want to leave but did sell the SWC

It's a good looking truck

On the block all Corvette small blocks came from Flint foundry and assembly plant. This block was cast and machined and assemble at Tonawndaw However a few SB in 65 might have came from Tonawandaw. Critter might see this and tell more
