401 from 65 GS on eBay. Ohio. Ends 8/31/09

Not mine.
The cast-in loop on the water crossover is from a 66. Better double-check the ID!!!

Live and Learn Grasshopper!

1966 blocks had a cast-in loop/hook on the bellhousing area, and the loop on the water crossover.
.....One of the many improvements on the 66 GS's to make them better than a '65. ;D

If it's never been apart except for the pan then why does it have the wrong Water Log on it?Someone should ask him some questions and tell him where to look for for the real I.D. stampings.

One day to go....
Seller confirms it is a LR code 401.
I know of another LR code engine for sale in Mass if anyone is interested.
