2 bucks that "318" is a fake casting number, look at the size of the 1 compared to the other 1's...and the 3 is in another font? Sell me that CAT gear drive!

I would have to say it is also fake.....Different font on the engine cu in ....look at the flatness on the top of the number 3 compared to the other........and it also looks like the whole 3 digit area is raised higher than the rest ....Like another piece over the top....I would have to say probably as said earlier, someone was trying to "skirt" the racing rulebook....LOL

It is kinda strange... I'm with you guys on that. I will be pulling it totally down and I will post up my finds. On my way home now to at least get the cam out and run the numbers. I'm not sure what to do at this point. If I pull the crank and discover its actually a 360 block, I will swap it in to my dart. If its really a 318, I will put the heads, cam, rockers, and gear drive in the 360 currently residing in my dart.
