Steve,
My question was specifically, were there any '69 DZ motors built at Tonawanda? If so, that might help to answer the question of the lift bracket differences. If not, then I'll go away and let you guys fight it out.
But I will add my common sense view. It doesn't make any sense for the engine plant (which had to hoist the engines onto racks for shipping) to require the vehicle assembly plants to remove 4 bolts, install 2 lift brackets and re-attach them just to get them off the pallet on their way to the chassis.

OK, now I'll shut up.
Verne
