[DeTomaso] Inquiring Minds want to know...............how to tell if it is a Fontana block?

[Dee Hart]

OK.... I walk up to a guy with a Pantera, he tells me that his car has an
aluminum Fontana engine.  What to I look for from the typical open the back
deck view of the Pantera engine bay.  I don't have the opportunity to pull
the firewall cover and open the inspection hatch.   I could just roll a
magnet against the back of the exposed block to confirm that it is in fact
Aluminium.    What do you say........ how to confirm a Joe Fontana engine?
