Don't let this information out unless you really want to sell those. There are a bunch of "Gold-Chainers" out there who have been known to have done crazy things.

Back to the original question of finding identifying marks on a MCF engine. This is how mine is marked, on right side intake deck.

Don't know when it was built, never was able to get any history on this car. Is a 59 block, Ofenhouser heads.

It's an original Potvin cam and is stamped 415. I'll try to find my original build sheet from Mark.
