Let us know what you find out on this....

date code is right for truck 'june 65'. the vin is not on the front block ledge, it reads 'MK20 800" which is weird. there is not a crankcase vent in back, which may be the 'pos vent' on the spid. the truck has a 4 barrel carb that i don't think the normal 327 option had. and no paper work on a dealer installed engine. so, the mystery continues... po said this is the original motor to this truck.

I believe the "Engine Conversion" refers to emission equipment applied at the factory for CA trucks.

you're probably right on the emission parts though the manifolds have definitely been changed.

Makes me look forward to starting another one.

Congrats, hope your holidays are going great sir !!

the fragrance industry needs to copy that smell and sell it as a womens perfume. it would attract car guys better than that flowery smell they now use.
thanks murph and glad you're back. following your escapades...
