I am cleaning up the engine bay of the 84 svo I purchased to prepare to pull the engine the rest of the way out (something the previous owner lost interest in about half way out )
and found a marking on the block ,a big FP below the distributor cap on the block ,I checked my 84 and it does not have this marking . is this marking on other blocks ?

Did you see if the SVO's vin was in the block?

I'm wondering what roller cam that the SVO has in it. I pulled a ranger roller cam today and the lobes look a lot smaller than the one thats in your engine. Wondering if its an old ford A237 cam or something of that sort.

I think he is talking about the roller cam in my svo ,I am not sure which cam it is but I found out the rust it has on it will clean off ,so it may be usable ,the followers however are shot
