Re: fe motors
corporate blue came out in 1966. Before that most were black, some gold and some red.

Re: fe motors
I put a 332 into a 69 highboy once. I just made some plates from 1/2 stock, drilled the holes for the mounts and for the block. I did have to slot the motor mount holes in the towers a little to get the mount studs through. The engine will set a bit higher but it never seemed to be a problem

The later blocks have 4, with the added bosses positioned forward and wider apart than the original bosses. |
