Cool stuff on day one of "the project"..
Found original paper tag on brake booster hose.. Remnants of build sheet tape on pass. side firewall.. Engine date stamp T1218 CTY with VIN.. 5 blade fan with TW1 stamped on blade..how did Chevy know??  The fan has the 8 hole pattern...??? Allen? Sully?? Water pump appears to be original..early date B 26 9... BB a/t rad intact.. Original L78 valve covers..they will be replated and installed on another member of the family.. Plenty of grease, antifreeze, dirt, and tranny fluid... Lot's of fun..more to follow Watch out Sammy, the black beast is coming!  wilma Deep groove fan pulley ends 631AO

Re: Winter/Spring project..
Interesting date on that waterpump if it's the original..February 69.
I would imagine an #065? Is the Radiator still holding the Prefix tag of ZE. The Deepgroove Fan pulley should be part #3976060AP,and worth it's weight in gold.That #631AO is a NON Deepgroove 1971-74 base pulley. Original engine..original driveline..deluxe interior..Original paint...Valve Covers w/drippers,..booster tag...5 bladed fan,etc. I understand your day two obsession Tom,but I have to play Devils advocate here and ask,"What did this Time Capsule ever do to you?" Go pick on a different one.

Re: Winter/Spring project..
Rick, you are the detective and the man with the numbers...went out and pulled the crank pulley it ends 666AO so I guess they are both wrong. Sorry I don't know these numbers like I should..but that's what you guys are good at. 065 pump..no tag on rad..looks like a 3 core.I have another original th400 unit at the shop...will compare. Took a closer look at front of car..it may have been hit once or lost a water pump that took out fan and radiator. That would explain service replacement fan. Non-original by-pass hose/clamps on pump. Also noticed screws holding grill on instead of rivets..??? someone has been there before.
 well I never said it was a virgin...as for why I'm picking on it, why not? I have another 396 motor that I will be building this year to put in it's place and save the VIN motor..not worried about braking the trans or rear. If anyone has some deep groove pulleys they want to donate, send me a PM and I will forward ship to  Thanks for the help, keep it coming.. wilma
