Here's all the info I have at this time - Can anyone help decipher the pad markings? (like the maltese cross on the upper right!)
I've never owned anything but a MoPar. Can you say that?

1966hemi

The Maltese cross denotes the main crank bearings being .001" undersized. The WT means 'water tested', meaning the water jackets were pressurized to check for leaks at the engine assembly plant.

Cool!    Thanks!!    THIS is the engine that Cotton Owens put in the Show Car Daytona, when he built it for Chrysler.  See the Baker thread on this car.
The car is represented as "just like it left the track" condition.   It never was ON the track as a Daytona...   :rotz:
