Good day all,
Made tear down of my '66 427/390 hp engine today with some parts giving impression of a virgin block. Interesting observations:
Are these the original pistons (part #)for the 427/390 hp?

10 what? 10 dollars? 10 ponies?10 beers? What does this mean?

Appears to original timing set with broken teeth. Engine actually well before tear down.

Chain slop.....no other way to put it!

Debris found in oil pan and pick up....timing gear plastic and gasket material.

- Original pistons
(part #3869968) with ink stamp on bottom (letter A) and well as ink stamp on top (#10) of two to three pistons...what's up wif dat
- Appears to be original timingset...slop and all. Missing some of the plastic teeth as well. Most of the plastic ended up in oil and oil pump screen....that'll kill an engine
!
- Original thin intake end rail gaskets with GM stamp on gasket.
