Picture request - 1963 8 3/4 742 case

[Anselmi]

I'm trying to find a "correct" 742 case for my 1963 Savoy restoration. Are there any clues what I should be looking for? Is the orientation of the big "2" different in eg. early vs. late pumpkins? Were there different manufacturers that used different markings?

Wish I could help you but I have changed the drum to drum rear in my 63 to a 65 drum to drum 8-3/4. I dont remember what was on the original case. Maybe someone here might. If you know it was a #2 case then I would think you could use any or is this a restoration where it has to be perfect ? Ron

The top picture is like one I removed from a early built 64.

Did 63s come with both 741 and 742 rears, for different apps or was it an option?

My understanding is that the Max Wedge cars had 742 rears. My 1963 Fury (with 318 wide block) has a 741 rear.

Any pics of the machined pad with stamped gear ratio?
