A cam, intake, and carb change has blossomed into something much larger and I'm trying to decide if I could tear the engine apart. I snapped some pics this evening.
Can anyone identify piston 3795709? - they all have the GM casting. The engine is NOM and is a '67 327 casting 3892657 code HC.
Also, It looks like all the bearing caps are marked 1-8 with dots. Can I assume that the factory did not do this and that someone has been inside?
I'm perplexed as all the gears and the oil pump (and pistons) are GM - it even has the nylon faced cam gear. I doubt that anyone would rebuild an engine and replace everything with GM components. Maybe someone did a simple re-ring and left the rest alone?
