I believe he bought the rights to, and started producing the aluminum block, in 1976.

Did production of alloy blocks with either Y-E-N-K-O or the Yenko Crest in the castings actually start this late in the game?.
Are the Y-E-N-K-O style blocks earlier than the Yenko Crest castings?.

No Winter logo, only Y-E-N-K-O, no casting date.
