Another Wacko Ebay Auction
Another Wacko Ebay Auction. Below is what I emailed to the seller.
I'm confused on your statement below: How did a 1973 454 engine block get produced in 1968 or 1969??
CASING NUMBERS FOR THE BLOCK ARE AS FOLLOWS...9-28-73....3999289...AND FOR THE PISTONS--L2308AF--TRW...KEEP IN MIND THIS IS AN EXTREMELY LOW MILEAGE ENGINE,,AS IT WAS PRODUCED IN 68 OR 69 AND WASNT RAN PAST 1972..
