A Two-on plate. Even if he had the other drag side, and the core boxes, it'd still be quite the effort to get them rigged and recreate the process work to cast them. Jay, here's your next project..... :)

Still amazing it escaped destruction by Ford.

I know the website lists them but is DOVE Manufacturing still manufacturing any FE based blocks?

Best,
Kelly

Simply answer is no, think he is still using and selling some stuff that didnt pass QC from back in the day. That is saying alot from Dove. Its really a shame that they dont let someone do something with the stuff instead of leaving it out side in the weeds.

That stuff needs to be in an industrial museum or The Henry Ford.
