I'  m finally putting the sheet metal back on the engine. I found that  the 
lower duct work came in duplicate from the PO. One set has the damper  door 
mechanism tack welded to the lower shroud using the long rods.The  other one more 
closely resembles a LM, but the bellows is attached with  the long rod and no 
damper door SM.

Want to know which  should be used on a '61 EM. Need more info? 

My guess is the  LM style with the long rod is the original '61 but the PO 
used all the  Van SM for the oil filler tube which was bent to  fit.

Another Q:  Did the '64 110 have a damper pulley  or solid? The heads say 
110. Block just says V.

Mike,  The 110 should have a harmonic damper to protect the crank from  
harmonic vibrations.  The LM lower shroud is preferred because the middle  location 
of the bellows is supposed to prolong its life, and from my  experience the 
LM bellows location does work better.
