PackardV8 Posted August 10, 2015 Report Share Posted August 10, 2015 When the minority who claim "anything made by Paxton is a genuine R3", gets in here, then there were maybe 200 versions. Paxton sold them with and without B serial numbers, with standard rods, with standard heads, with 288-degree cams, with 299" and 304.5" bores, with and without competition superchargers, without any supercharger, with aluminum and iron intakes, et al. jack vines Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
