Here are a few photos showing the Engine ID Card that is located behind the Alternator. It identified the Engine (Broadcast Sheet) Code, Timing specifications, Engine Assembly Plant and the Shift of Engine manufacturing. Also pictured are a couple of photos where we are test fitting the Heater Hoses. I will re-stamp them with a better Ink and the Fonts & Logos will be changed to represent the correct Factory versions. The print currently being offered uses an ink that can be easily removed from handling the Hose and the stamped images are not technically correct. I’ll have photos showing the stamping process and the final assembly results when complete.
One thing to note regarding 340 Engine detail “correctness”. You’ll notice that the Water Pump Bolts that hold the triangular Alternator Bracket are not painted. We decided to use black phosphate finished Bolts for a cleaner look. These normally would have been painted with the Engine, removed and re-installed to bolt the Alternator Bracket into place. The Bolts would have been Engine color and chipped up from being removed and re-installed after the assembly was painted. It’s one of the minor/small changes we have made with this “What If” project.
