Re: 66 Big Block Verification

re big block verification mark lincoln from your message i believe you have several questions is it an original big block and if so is it a or hp both have the rear sway bar and caps on the differential end of the half shaft u joint also the gas line from the tank to the pump is different for a bb at the fuel pump end i can't describe it so you will have to look at an original car if the car was a you should see a redline tach and psi oil gauge it also would have had ti ignition so the ti box mounting holes should be in the left inner fender where is the hood support mounted it should be on the left with no evidence of one being on the right side you mentioned a tank sticker it was first installed on so you will not find one also if the car has f suspension it is very likely to be a bb there are probably other itmes i failed to mention but this should get you started good luck let us know how you make out
