Thanks CNorton -
 
That is very unexpected news - the MY 396 325 engine stamp looked pretty legit to me.

Did the car have drum brakes back when you had it? Where did you sell it?

Anybody else have an opinion on the MY stamp? (Or re-stamp?)

Thanks

Yup - my bad. I am a rookie at this & didn't make the connection properly - thanks ZLP955  :P

Sorry CNorton - disregard my post....

Victor - the front brakes are power disc BTW.

Just waiting for the transmission info - I will definitely take a look in person.

Thanks for all the info - this site is an incredible resource!
