I guess I am aging faster than I thought. The only thing in this thread that makes much sense to me is somebody mentioning the stamping Mr. Mondello's shop use to apply to their craftsmanship.

Like the Aluminum T-10M with cast iron tail housings, not all of Mondello's work was stamped. Especially the Shelby GT-350R heads. Add Valley Head service as a sub, as well.
I don't know the reasons for various sub's, and omissions of " Mondello's xxxx xxxx".
I have spoken with Joe and he was the owner.
I suggest the other poster's do the same.
Down-side: have your credit card or check book out, his shop rate is $120.00+ per hour.
Mondello does not work for free.
1.94 SS is correct
K heads were out or cas, long before K Mustangs, installed in many Fairlanes and Merc's. Just ask Doug Nash.
First Cobra's were not SC's. Bunch of TVR, Sunbeams, Griffiths, before Italian exotica ran K engines before 1st Mustang rolled-off in April '64. + Mangusta.
"Add TRACO to the telephone call, they built the R code engines + most of the DZ Trans Am engines as well", from Joe.
BTW: NOS sold for a few $$.
K engine next, some Top Loaders, and '67 Elky bed full of SCJ and Shelby GT-500 parts.
Always a pleasure!!
