Art, Great story. Thanks for sharing. I followed it from the beginning on the Vettehead board. I can't wait to see what happens with it.

Art,

Thanks for sharing.

It's been a priviledge to see it all unfold on VH over the last few weeks - except for the way it ended. I truly hope that the car is restored to its former racing glory, and not messed up.

Re: A REAL DEAL CROSSES THE BLOCK

You know the potential for it to get messed up is very high. Someone will look at that stamp, know it is "wrong", and then "restore" it correctly with a "correct" block.

It is rough to do, but if you want to save a real piece of history, Art needs to find the winner and inform him. I know that is tough after losing it.

I know where there is a garage that isn't burglar-proof

'57 Nassau engine shot?

In Noland Adams' book "Corvette - American Legend, #4", there is an interesting photo on page 257. It's a large shot of an early 4360 injected engine in a HD brake Corvette without an airbox.

Note the three digit number and the creases in the foil inspection tag on the FI main diaphragm cover. Also note the funky pulley fan blades on the generator and the orientation of the generator wiring harness. Anything look familiar?

I don't know about that Gunner. You may have to consult with Paul Harvey for "the rest of the story".

Jerry, That's one of the few books I don't have, could you get a picture of it and send it to me, I think you know my addy.
