Recently acquired this motor. Missing exhaust manifolds, intake, carb,distributor, valve covers and timing cover. Has all original internals including - valves, cam (dated L 1 8), lifters, rockers, pistons, rods, crank, timing chain, oil pan, and windage tray. Block is 618 (dated A 22 9), heads are 186 (dated A 18 9 and A 23 9). Water pump is rare 3927170 (L 7 8) and has original Balancer (not sure where to look for date?). Hope this can find its way back home! Or maybe someone knows of an original Z somewhere in Louisiana without the original motor?

That VIN is not in the database. :(
Can I get another pic of that engine pad? The camera focused on the floor, not the pad. Try the macro button on the camera, that will help too.
Thanks!

Pump is not rare. It would have come with a 692 pump.

It would have come with a 692 pump.
I'm not convinced of that. That 170 w/p shows up on some original motors....

According to Chevrolet By The Numbers, chapter 11, page 224, at the top "3927170 saw very little usage." Its application was all cars in 1969. The "water pump was used interchangeably with #3953692".
