Re: '66 L36 Pad Stamp

I'm with Mr Whittington on this one...RUN, Don't walk...there is NO factory explanation for the engine pad, and what documentation exists for the "Factory" A/C and other options???

Re: '66 L36 Pad Stamp

I do not see circular marks that would have been made by a conventional circular broach . Any machine that made the marks I see would have had to be made by a huge machine or a file . I would still reccomend Mr Grenning's opinion. Bill

Waste of money, no pad ever left St Louis looking like this 1966 9859.jpg

To me, these lines do not look like a typical factory broached surface. While they do look like the typical circular lines found on a decked block. Click on the attached picture, then once it opens click on it again and enlarge the picture . Note the very gradual curved lines inside the red outlined area.

Maybe someone could post a picture of a deck surface that has been machined .

Have you ever seen actual factory grind outs from late 1965 on L36 blocks that were originally assembled for full size Chevrolets and then torn down and re configured for Corvette production ?

Never seen a reconfigured engine, but have seen quite a few ground outs The presence of the diagonal or curved lines tell me it never left St Louis configured that way
