'64 Vs. '63 R2

[mfg]

Name three ways 'at a glance' a 1964 R2 Avanti engine can be distinguished from a 1963 R2 Avanti engine (without checking block serial numbers)

[8E45E]

PCV valve and painted valley plate to name two.

Different air cleaner designs, though very similar in appearance.

Now...if you're discussing engine bays as opposed to the engine itself, there's also the group 24 battery in place of the previous 3EE, and the hood support moved from the left side to right side.

Just the engine itself, but you and 8E45E basically nailed it.....There is one more fairly obvious 'top of engine' type item though.....Anybody?
