Ford made a bunch of special race parts for the factory backed
teams.  For instance, I have pictures on my website of an
aluminum 351C (block and heads) with a Ford part number and
a casting date of 1968, 2 years before the production 351C
was released to the public.  The block was a 4.1" bore and
they ran stroker cranks.  These engines were reserved for match
race purposes.

I'm not implying your specific parts came from Roush or Dyno
Don but many of these parts were destined for such teams and
not available to the general public (or were too expensive
for the privateers).
