My wagon came with a 6 but thee donor car to get it running was a completely original '64 283 California car. No PCV in valve cover, vent tube down the back of the block. Some guy I worked with at that time had a '64 vette that had the same set up. The hood opens forward on those things and he had the engine all dolled up and I assumed it was a 350 or 400, but since the rear of the motor was so visible I noticed the vent tube and he told me that was the original engine...
