Re: Barn find hemicuda convertible.
I never really studied the Galen report concerning my block because I knew it was a restoration block. If I had I would have learned a few things. Here's what I have learned in the past couple of weeks. The info on the race block I posted is as follows: 4-17-69 = machine date, F = model year '70, MN426 = hemi, 2986 = 10,000 day date ( September 30, 1969 ), 57236 = order number. The procuction date on my car is A13 or October 13, '69. To connect the order number to a vin would require a large data base that only a few would have. I've sent a tracing to Frank and await his final comments. I never imagined this block was anything other than the warranty block or another block sourced for racing. Of course the vin is gone and may not be retrievable. We are working on that.
