Yes the motor did get put together.. I helped a friend do it in about 90-91
for a dirt track car he had. That track was very serious about thier engine
claim rules; so the objective was to use as many parts that were convenient.
He had an engine rebuild set for a Ford 351/400M and was wanting to use the
new pistons & rings. Last I knew it ran for at least a couple of years; but
I moved away & lost touch with him. It spent the first winter in his
RamCharger though; where he blew the transmission racing a '70 Chevelle with
it.
The block should have been about 68-71 vintage. I don't remember checking.
I was just out of high school then and didnt' even think to check.
