I am in the process of removing the engine in my '55 Thunderbird to install the 345 Y and got a surprise. When I removed the bellhousing, clutch, and flywheel, there was a little round dot on the crankshaft flange. The heads on this engine have the freeze plugs in the front of them, and I assumed it was the stock 292 that came in the car. I checked the part number on the block and date code since I had it up on the lift. The block number is ECZ-6015-C, and date is 74*R. Is this a factory replacement shortblock? I guess I will be tearing this engine down now to see what it really is instead of putting it in the corner and leave it for the next owner. It is tempting to install a set of ported -G heads and leave it. Joe-JDC
