Just asking:

Currently my '76 Eleganza is undergoing a 455 ci engine transplant. The question has been raised as to whether or not the engine being removed from the coach (approximately 115,000 miles on the odometer) is the original, factory installed engine. Are there any key indicators on the engine or elsewhere that would enable one to determine if the engine was factory installed or had been previously replaced?

As the fourth owner of this coach I have very few maintenance records and invoices from the previous owners.
