My first thought was the cap is missing off the end of the rod, haha.
I like your attention to detail.
Had to drop the crank in my POS with a 350 to replace the rear main seal. Every thing was stamped with numbers so I could tell it had been re coed at some stage.
Copper was showing on the main shells in places, I just torqued it all up after changing the seal and 100 thou later nothing is really different except it doesn't leak out of the rear main.
It is a Chev though, has about 700 thou on the motor since reco, 99% on gas. Chancy meet with the guy who put it in there enabled me to work it out.
I won't be replacing it with a 3.5 to 'restore the balance of the vehicle' or to somehow make it more 'valuable'.
AFAIAC it has the motor and trans it should have had in 1974.
cheers DL
