Anchor Home Center was my "dealer sponsor" in 1974, I had some sleds in Moline, can you post some pictures, I also know of a 295/s that ran from Moline in the 1975 Winnepeg. Certainly would like to see the engine and tunnel SN's.....not sure it is a "600"

Kenny, what year are you referring to? My numbers from 73,74 or 75 never had tops like that picture. DA

Lee Hardesty (Deeres racing engine manager) built a 440 mod motor "fan cooled" for me that I left in Moline back in the day! Can you shoot a picture of the exhaust. How it may have gotten into a 600 would a story. JRC

If I had to venture a guess, looks like someone adapted 295-340/s intake manifolds and dual Mik's onto the 440/5 motor. I bet she is the fastest 600 around if those carbs are set up properly.

Nice find, and good luck with motor work.

Any chance it was a "pit sled" for the races, or maybe a spectator?

PS: Didn't see JRC's above post. Would be very cool if it was done at the factory!

Don, I don't know that Chuck might, I was just looking at the jagged edge as you can just start to see the top of the number?? at least that is what I thought I was looking at??
