The Mangusta's original block although not critical is easy to ID. As it bears no short VIN stamp. Odds are it is a late 68 J code motor. The critical part is the intake as it has the DeTomaso logo and engine VIN stamp.
The same applies to Panteras. The block specific VIN stamped behind the left head by DeTomaso.
So anytime any of you see a 302 intake with DT stamp or 351 bloack with DT stamp. Please do not hesitate to purchase.
