Hi Jim

WOW I'm speechless!!!!! You're a lucky man!!!! Did you find out, from which GSS the engine is? Tell me how you found the engine!

By the way Jim, about the third yellow GSS you wrote that it hasn't any stripe, but the horizontal stripe was on the GTSs (GSSs) standard. I don't think that Mr. Norm took the horizontal stripe away. Did you mean that it hasn't any bumble bee stripe but the horizontal stripe?

Thanx

I knew about the block for awhile as I know the seller but I never took a good look at it until a buddy of mine said he took a look and saw the drilled and tapped holes in the oil pump bosses! It was at the Indy swap meet and I was selling parts, so I took a better look that is when I noticed the shaved motor mount boss and the VIN was on the bellhousing rail, and it fell within the known VIN numbers of the GSS's that I had documented, so there was no doubt in my mind!

Regarding the stripes, it is my understanding that none of the GSS Darts had the horizontal stripe because Norm did not want that stripe, so it was bumblebee or none at all. Three of the GSS's that I have seen have the original paint on them with two having bumblebee stripes and one (the yellow one) had no stripe and there was never any evidence it ever had a stripe.
