Thanks! Updated the post. Font on intake is narrow; likely repro. I’ll have to check on the distributor. I don’t think it is correct for W30. No carb. VIN derivative is 30E1xxxxx. So not a Lansing build.
Agreed. From a view under the intake and valve covers, the rockers, pushrods, lifters, cam, valves all look new. From the plugs, the pistons are all new and are marked STD. So the motor was likely just honed. I’ll have to take the oil pan off for further inspection, if there is an interested buyer. Have a few messages asking to see in person.
