Friend of mine had a 068 QA block with ArmaSteel main caps, I thought ArmaSteel came a bit later? What you’all day?
You are right Tom, I have 2 348 blocks 1 cast in 60 without the X and 1 cast in 64 with the X.Same goes for 348 blocks that were cast in that era .
I think mine does. I was doing some cleaning on the old parts today while the block is getting done and I found green paint that matches John Deere under the orange. I’ll have to check the block when it comes back from Allyn. Just didn’t know if theres a visual difference in case somebody changed them somewhere along the 59 years!Armasteel has the x on the front Tim, if that’s what you mean? An x cast into the block, driver’s side below where the head/intake bolts on.
