[QUOTE]Originally posted by bwkelley76: [QB] GOOD NEWS! I brought the car in the shop today and changed the oil and inspected a few things with a closer eye and found the following... The engine is for sure a 1969 (C90E) 351W Pulled out a spark plug and put a borescope/camera inside one of the cylinders and found flat-top pistons and cylinders with light hatch marks on them. Supposedly this motor was a direct transplant installed years ago from a wrecked '69 Mach1, and it's nice to see I was most-likely told the truth. The motor probably has low mileage considering the condition of the cylinder walls. I did not see any stamping on the pistons for overbore either. Heck I might have gotten lucky and received a virgin mach1 motor with this car!? This almost makes me not want to upgrade it with a cam and heads like I planned. I guess I could save the original cast-iron heads and cam and throw them back on some day though. Maybe I could sell the motor running as-is for some good money and build a 408. Anyhow, it's great to know that what I have under the hood of this thing is something desirable that's in good shape. [/QB][/QUOTE]
