Not just sure yet Roger but next week we will be tearing into it and I'm awaiting a portfolio of info on it. I wonder if any of the members have heard of King Racing, next week I will have more info on them as well.

Great news Mike.
Can you notice a VIN# down by the Oil Filter?

Re: LOOK WHAT I FOUND IN A PLASTIC BAG
 

Thanks mr70 but it's locked away for the weekend in my engine shop ( they close weekends ) but Monday I will have a good look and post my findings right away. I don't see much in this pic though.

There was a King Speed Shop in the Chicago area in the 70's. Their cars raced at US 30 and Osceola back then. Could that be the same shop? https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/dunno.gif

--------Used to stop in at Kings every now and them. The scuttlebut back then was that the owner had backing from none other than Mohammid Ali(AKA Cassius Clay). Never knew if that was true but supposedly he did some work for Ali and Ali took a liking to him. You could see the place from 294 and the remains of the building may still be there. Since its closed I dont look that direction when coming into Chi-town anymore..........Bill S

I think Kings Racing was out of New York ? not to sure untill I get some paper work from the previous owner later, but I did have coffee with my engine guys this morning and the date on the side of the block was-
181
2 27 69
I will have to get the oil pan off later this week and get some more pics but my business won't let me get to that till maybe wed or so. I don't see any numbers near the oil filter but again till I have a real good look https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/dunno.gif

And Thanks Jason, I know you had one of these till alittle while ago.
