[Tigers] I just put down a deposit on B9471400

[Gary]

The factory tee is also a size reducer, that’s 
why it’s still there.
The way to tell what engine it is is to pull
the starter and look at the casting number.
A 260 or a 302 5.0 can be dressed the same.
The only matching number is a build date
stamped into a small boss on the block in
front of the driver side head.
Engine swaps in Tigers are almost universal.

The engine is painted red: note the block in this picture and the oil pan in another.  The engine has likely been removed from the car at some time.  There's at least a 50% chance that the engine was swapped for another (non numbers matching) at this time.  Valve covers are likely original but an original number on a valve cover does not a numbers-matching engine make.
