Hi Casey;
The block is a real Yenko casting. Yenko was making these blocks into the mid to late '70's primarily for the boat racers, we have also found some dirt track racers that purchased them as well. These blocks are more common than you might think, I have seen 4-5 of them within the last 2-3 years at local swap meets. I ran across a set of 074 aluminum heads this weekend at a swap meet, but like most they had been repaired. Also found a set of early '69 840's - $800, he took them back home with him.

Thanks Marlin........and yet once again, I go away with a little more knowledge than I had this morning! So who cast them? Was Winters in charge of this?
