Here's the link...  http://minneapolis.craigslist.org/hnp/pts/5292710251.html

And the description...

"Original 1968 Camaro Z28 engine block. This still has the vin on it. V0502MO. The real deal, with original broach marks and stampings. Still standard bore, with main caps. Casting #3914678, cast date D-8-8. I have not tried finding the car it belongs to, the block was purchased in St. Paul a few years ago. Just ad your crank for a complete OE short block assembly.

One sleeve, installed at Performance Concepts engine builders of Forest Lake, quality workmanship. Block has been oven beaded/cleaned at Cheetah Auto, still standard bore block per mic. Large journal "0" rods have been glass beaded. Used .030 forged TRW pistons in good condition, original Z28 pan with windage tray. See pics. Ken, 651-558-7509. Will consider offers."

I bought this block and parts lot from Ken Friday night 12-4-15.  I have a fresh .010 .010 crank for it already. I also have a set of 291 heads and 610 intake.  Plan is to do the needed machining to finish it and resell it.
