If you soda blast the firewall, you stand a better chance of preserving the crayon markings. Anything to aggressive takes them out. Bill Edel's deuce had lots of marks.

Here are some updated pictures of the vin behind the Heater on the firewall, and pictures of some of Kenny's handy work installed hardened seats and bronze guides and some mild porting with 205 intake valves, etc.

Will post some more pics and info soon,

Nice... If you are going with a non stock cam I fully recommend calling Dave Crower at Crower cams and giving him/them the engine and car specs and letting him design a solid roller for it... absolutely wicked.

Thank you for the input, Ken Maisano designs all the Cams that go in our engines, so we are covered : ) will post more pictures tonight.

Here are some updated pictures of the motor and some data Kenny will comment on.

I thought it would be interesting to see how well the factory Balanced the rotating assembly back in 1970.
So I took all the original parts, made my Bob Weight and spun up the crank. As you can see it was only off by 6 Grams in the front and 8 Grams in the back. I bet they gave the LT1 special attention. In the late 80s I blueprinted many brand new LB9s 350s and L69s 305 for GM special projects and many were off 8 to 14 grams.
Thought you guys might like this info.

Very nice Ken, [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/biggthumpup.gif[/img] My original crank was off about the same, will you metal-ax the block? I really like the pic of the pad stamping, I don't think we've seen another Deuce stamped like that! It is also very early with it being an 0512 (especially for a car being this late in the build order), most engine assy dates are 0520 with the range being pretty tight at 0518 - 0521.

Interesting stencil on the leaf spring, I'd have to see the underside of the spring to determine if they are original to the car or not. Also, I see the rear sway bar setup, it's nice that you have that item!! Pay special attention to cleaning the rear assy, many times there are crayon markings on the center section.
