I believe this to be true as well, the 'C' prefix on the rear makes sense and the location of the 'C' is consistent with a factory stamping. In other words, the 'C' should not be part perfectly in line with the BE, as I don't believe the gang holder could fit the prefix character. The '70 rears are indeed stamped this way, the 'C' is off on its own.

From what you've told us, albeit difficult to read sometimes due to the size of the paragraphs, it looks like you have a COPO car. The body number is actually a better indicator than the VIN in this case!

Welcome to the site, you'll find everything you need to know here!

thanks marlin
i will do better with the paragrphs.
i did post a photo of my body number, its a photo of the whole cowl tag, look at the pic's, i have some of the crank,block and cam, but the cam i dont think has a chance at belonging to the engine. it needs a part number not just a 427 and a FN right? these are in storage , not kept in the chicken coop with the block. they do look alot better in shape,

i do have a excellant pic of the VIN but im to shaky to show it, i dont know why but its like my cars social security number, these days who knows what someone could do with it???

i a used micrometer on the crank, the mains are .010 the rods are .030, bummer i dont think i can use it because im not sure if they make a rod bearing under .030 do they? my luck they dont. is this even the right crank casting number?
thanks for the reply.
