ernie, you seem very knowledgable about these motors. what part numbers do you need to verify a nascar motor, most of my parts are still in original boxes. when the motor was ordered back in 1966, it was sold from a reptible dealer and sold as a nascar motor, best of everything available at the time, i have had 390/401s,406/405s, 427/425s and the real police interceptors, whether a 390, 406, 427, all had cross bolt mains. Looking at this motor, it looks the same as the others, but like you said, the main difference is the rods and a few other parts, the heads came with port work done. the motor only has one owner since 1966 and that is what he ordered a nascar motor, at the time when he ordered this motor, his brother had a 63 galaxy with a 427/425. they went and ordered this motor which was supposed to be the best they had to offer. whether it is a nascar motor or not, it is diffinitely a virgin motor never assylmbled and i don't think there are many virgins still around.
