    The carb and the manifold have been removed from Ghost ( as we are getting ready to put on the aluminmum high rise and holley carb ). There are some numbers that were stamped into the top of the engine block that we can just barley read, is this the engine number?

    You may find a partial VIN number stamped on the top of the block close to where it meets the trans. Is this the area you found the numbers?

    That's the spot. Does it match the VIN?

    There are less numbers on the block than on the Shelby Automotive, Inc. plate. The numbers start with 8TO then match the last five digits of the ford numbers. I guess this is a match? Comment please. :mellow:
