Did 57's with factory a/c have special engine parts? :unitedstates:
Yes, the crank and water pump pullies had three grooves, the generator was a two grove pulley and the A/C compressor mount also mounted the generator.
Dipstick tube is different also.
Guess you know the battery box and holddown are different too....

Seen a listing once for an AC hood??
Don't think so. The hood on a factory A/C car that I still have after parting the rest is identical to the hood on all three non-A/C 57s I have.
