Yes, that award was featured prominently in their catalogs for many years.

One item I forgot to mention in my first post was that I got a shot of what I believe is the clutch boss in the new Blueprint 302 block. Been 25 years since I've had a stick in my rig but I think that's what I'm looking at...

That reminds me. I was looking at those engines 2 years ago. Really surprised it is taking as long to come out with them as it has.
Wonder if they ever started the 351 blocks? Looks like the show end in about 11 minutes anyway. I bet they are checked out and ready to leave.

It wasn’t there when I bought mine 4 years ago.

Is yours a new casting block, or the seasoned block bored .040 over?
Only the new castings get the clutch hole.

Must be the seasoned. It’s a 306.

Yeah, if it's 4 years old, it's a "seasoned" block.

Maybe they still don’t have their new one, and the clutch bracket hole is from a REALLY seasoned block!

TZ would know this but does anybody remember the year James Duff win a SEMA award for poly bushings for EB's?

He won a SEMA award for the ford independent front suspension lift kit in 1980 it must have been before that.
