Funny you should say that.....I have one just like it from my old 616 240 engine that was replaced with a 617 (non turbo) hanging in my shop on the deemed "wall of glory" featuring the rod, the now s-shaped oil pump drive, my old 67 fastback mustang rearend pinion (in 2 halves), a few bent valves, schrapnelized (if thats a word) piston remains....etc...ahh glory days of hotrodding cars....
