___Interesting thread but like so many it never had a good ending, just a cliff hanger.
What did he find when the pan was pulled?
Was it a good find ?
What has been done to the engine?
Was this thread continued in another thread later ?__

If so it would have been nice to add one more post here and say so.__

__ It's been such a long wait.__

Agreed. I'm curious about the heads. Looks like cast rocker arms, so probably what, pre-71, 72?

Rail rockers were used from April 1966 til the appearance of the D8OE heads in late 1977.

My 72 351w heads had these style rockers. My 74 heads have stamped steel rockers. It has been a while, so I may be mistaken about my 74, could be they are not stock heads.

Block is D5ZY-6015 = '75-'77 302 cu - 4.00" bore + 8.206" deck height or '73-'76 = 8.229" deck height.

Going on a guess - I would say the heads are block-matching mid '70's heads. Great candidate for a budget build with GT40 or Windsor Sr. iron heads and a freshened up balanced bottom :>)
