Central, we do rely upon member contributions to keep the site and server running smoothly. As membership grows, so does
site usage. Recently we have seen a huge jump in server load and bandwidth. As a result, at times we notice extremely
slow page loading. Many of you may have also noticed the new member rankings used to recognize supporting members.

I recently purchased a '71 Elky that has had an engine swap. The engine still has the original red, not orange, paint on the block and intake. The block is stamped CMJXXXX and the only listings I can find is that it may be a '72 350 police engine or a later model 305 van engine. The engine has a red 4-bbl Rochester intake that appears original.
If anyone has run into this type of engine, please give me an e-mail at abarron576@AOL.com.

Casting numbers of the block are more likely going to help you out, not stamped numbers. Go to www.mortec.com to find out how to find the location of the casting numbers and what they are.
