    so I was getting around to putting my 87 430 back together
    well let me be a LITTLE more clear, getting all the parts back together
    at this point I was looking my cylinder over and noticed an odd casting type marking
    I have 7 other 430 cylinders and not one of them has this marking
    anyone seen this before? or knows what it means?
    looks like CW

    Put it on a record player and spin it backwards, and let IT tell YOU what it means!

    It could very well be exactly as justintendo said above.

    Who Knows?

    Not exactly the same CW logo but this may have been some of their earlier work. They aren't all that far from Nevada either.

    I think it takes a moderator to edit titles. Probably a stamp?
