I love his comments...."picture of car and engine is just to show what a real 68 z28 engine bay looks like" then posts a pic of the 67 engine bay. 😜😜😜👍

If it's legit I hope someone is hunting though !

Head was cast 1 day after mine, engine assembled 13 days before mine. Curious block casting date.

I didn’t see a block casting date in the ad. What’s curious about it?

I'm not being a skeptic, I'm just curiouswhen the block was cast. My heads were March 13th and block March 21st, assembled April 23.

Block stamping appears genuine. Price seems high. I wonder which junkyard the car is in?

I guess I misunderstood your post.
