Anybody looking for this engine?
Complete and running.
19N511834
Casting date: Sept 9, 1968 (I98)
Build date (on front pad) V0911 "September 11th"
I have NO IDEA what region this engine came from...could even be Canada...it just "showed up"
-
You have a link to the engine?
-
A link...to what?...you mean a picture?...
-
Just an update...I ended up tracking down the car that this engine belongs to...Quite an amazing story. It belongs to a Dusk Blue, black vinyl top, power windows, console RS Z/28...Canadian car documented by GM Canada (George Zapora). Miracles do happen...
-
Great job on reuniting the engine back with the original car. Love to hear more about it.
-
So are the car and motor together once again?
-
Yes...the engine has been reunited...after approximately 40 years apart. The story of this interesting reunion will be told in an upcoming publication...Definitely feels good knowing that "it can happen"...I have a few Z/28s which are waiting to be reunited with their DZ mills...

I have also helped someone reunite the DZ motor to their car. Very cool. I am also looking for a early DZ block for a LA car. L503***. I was lucky to find a block that is very close, until the original surfaces. fingers crossed...😁
