Interestingly, in the in-frame blue engine photo, we see a Hot Air Choke carb, yet the intake sports the 68-9 only Divorced Choke cavity.

Many interesting features there.

Many people incorrectly assume that since the plugs go through the valve covers it must be a hemi. Guess what, the new 'HEMI' that Chrysler has been making for the last decade isn't really a hemi in the true sense of the word either.

If someone was to develop a reliable crate engine for oldsmobiles can you imagine how people would consider a swap if they followed this prototype?
