/6 in a sm block car
Back story , I bought this car in 2012 as a daily driver for my son he drove it for a few years bought a new car then in 2016 we started taking it apart and building a street strip car out of it. The car came with Is a slant 6 automatic automatic didn't really think anything about it till last year I started wondering and After being on the fabo checked out the Vin numbers and found out this car was A 273 car everything else on the Vin was right as far as 2 door hard top blah blah blah.
1st question why would someone go through all that work to switch these engines out?
2nd question I have looked through many posts here And can't find Is what the PT means before my number 225R on the head pad on the Engine. I read where @A56 Posted a chart for the raised casting numbers on the block and it is 68 through 70 block. Thank you for your answers in advance.
