Question: Were 66 Shelby 4sp. trans. always stamped???

[Harris Speedster]

The Blue 68 GT-E 427 I had, did have a serial # stamped block.
1963 ford lightweight I had, did have a stamped trans.
Have had only one 67 gt 350 that did not have a engine serial # stamped, think it was one of the grey cars I had.

   The lightweight is odd John. I've rebuilt several and owned a few too. Never saw a vin OR a tag on one. Same for 289 Cobra transmissions.

Come on you bunch of cats and stay herded on the topic of  65/66 Shelby 4sp trans stamps.

[Harris Speedster]

Your right Bob !
I have had a 65 K fastback, plain jane, top loader stamped on small Bottom case tab, engine above the oil pan rail as commonly found.

I have never ran into a serial number stamped Borg Warner box, cast or aluminum.
Not sure about the ac cobra.

In brief Bob : GT 350hr, 63 had last 6 number digits on top trans ear,

........Since engine vin stamps were not a federal requirement till the 1968 FMVSS act did you find any born in k code drivelines with no vin?

The 68 requirement was different in that it covered all engines and transmissions - before that it was limited to high performance only (engines and transmissions) apparently not well monitored and as always some (like NJ examples and apparently Shelbys for some unknown reason)  slipped through

Think I posted this in Forum 1.0

Very interesting !

That is a real oddity. I have owned several GT-E's and still own one. All have been stamped with a partial VIN on the cylinder head. Have not seen any GT-E with a VIN stamped block. Even the Dearborn 428CJ's had the VIN stamped in the cylinder head.

Here are a couple of mine -

The Blue 68 GT-E 427 I had, did have a serial # stamped block.
1963 ford lightweight I had, did have a stamped trans.
Have had only one 67 gt 350 that did not have a engine serial # stamped, think it was one of the grey cars I had.

Whats your point ?
My Boss 302 cars had it on the top deck of the block, by back of intake.
69 GT 350 conv had partial vin on cylinder head.
67 fairlaine lightweight, old miller car out of Oregon/Idaho, had it on the back of the block.
Trying to remember where the serial # was on the Boss 9's I had, ?
