Re: 57 corvette rpo579c question

the 4360 on my early 57 250 hp pg was the 69th fi rochester built.i'm sure you recall the first 100 or so were stamped and no rochester tag was riveted to the plenum.mike

There was a complete original 57 FI passenger car engine at Kissimmee some years back for sale on display near the front gate. It was a turboglide as I recall.

PS..the 4360 unit in my Nassau car is cold steel stamped 132. When the RPD tag came into effect in about December 56.. it started with 1001.

Dr. Mike, The FI shown on the cover is NOT a '4360 FI unit. It's a 7014520 unit. You have a '57 with a '4520 unit on it. Just like the one on Vinnies cover.
Maybe Bruce will chirp in and help me out as he is a '4360 fan.
Bruce please tell the gang the pic on "The Restorer" is not a '4360 unit. Back to work. JD
