Hello! In the process of restoring my car and looking for the original engine and/or transmission. Any help would be appreciated.

That is an early build, just ahead of mine.

Jason,  Though it's like finding a needle in a haystack.. it has happened !  :)  What other info do you have on your Z ?  What area did it originate from or spent most of it's life ?  State or city or any other cities that it may have passed thru ?  Engine/Trans may be sitting in a shed near that city or city nearby.  Prime example..I was snooping the net 2 days ago and found a gentleman in the Daytona area who is selling a '32 Buick on Craigslist, in the Buick sits a '69 DZ302.  States is pretty much complete from carb to pan and was pulled from a yellow Z in 1970.   I've emailed him asking for info so I could post the numbers .... but hasn't responded back yet   :(

Good Luck

Thanks for all the help. I contacted the second owner and he is trying to help me gather some info. He told me he purchased it from a lady in Pomeroy, Ohio. Its a fathom green car but he had painted it LeMans Blue around 1980.

Thanks DW and Paul, I posted this for 69Zee's Reply #2 hoping he would see it since he's interested in the motor. Sorry for hijacking your thread Jason.
