Another cool photo from the GM Archives, but there's a debate as to what year this is from. Appears to be tri-power intakes on the big blocks, with small blocks and 6-cylinders on the hoists.

Cool, they look like 348 tri power engines. I wonder if HA is a suffix code for 348 3x2.

I would guess that this photo was not taken at a motor plant but at a final assembly location.

Interesting that the balancer was not painted along with the long block.
