Those holes do not belong there.
Yes, the fender tag is huge. For what I'm guessing you are looking for in a car, that's a deal or no-deal thing.
The block would have to be cracked internally in a non repairable place. External cracks or even holes can be lock-stitched fixed. You'd just sleeve it if it's too rusty to clean up with an overbore. Being it's taken apart, you never know why. If it's numbers, I think you are in good shape. Check the trans to see if it's numbers too. Will be on pad on side of trans.
At this point, I am unsure if the heads, exhaust manifold, intake and carb are with the car.
Carb should be #4426 - Carter AVS if my memory is good...I will be digging through every corner. Bad news is that parts might be in three different physical locations.
Also, for me the really big hang-ups is if there is a fender tag, and if the block is numbers matching and salvageable.
Also, what are those holes above the script emblem and Formula S logo in this pic?
