Can anyone post additional photos of known real 1966 427 pads!!

There is a pad photo in this thread which IMO is the real deal (although the picture isn't ideal), it's also an great story to follow....

There are a number of 66 L36 blocks ( 2 bolt main around Oct 65 ) that were origonally produced for passenger cars , returned to the engine plant, torn down and rebuilt for Corvette production, stamp pad filed out and re-stamped and put back on the line and installed .

I would love to see one of those pads, and bless the poor individual who has one legitimately in his corvette!

Hi Steven, If you ever get a chance to meet or take in one of Al Grenning's workshops on stamp pads be sure to ask him about this very topic . He actually has the factory paperwork to back this story up and he can show you .

Bill,
I'm hoping at some point I can, sounds like a very interesting session.
