Title: 302 DZ Engine - Mostly Complete - Partial VIN 19N650140
Post by: dbutler201 on June 12, 2011, 02:32:14 PM

I bought this engine back in 1979 with the hopes that I would rebuild it to replace the missing 302 DZ engine in my 1969 Z28.  Well, I never got around to it and the engine has been sitting on the shelf, packed in grease, since 1979.  The engine is standard bore and in good condition.

If someone can provide verifiable evidence that they have the matching car for this engine, I will sell it.

Please respond to the following e-mail: dbutler201@verizon.net

Thanks.

Update - This motor has found it's home.  The original car and the motor are now united.  This is a real success story, after 31 years this unmolested DZ engine will be placed in the car that was born with it.

It doesn't get any better than this for the owner of the car.

So, what did I get out of this?  I traded this engine for an unmolested DZ engine that was assembled just 4 days before my original engine was assembled.  This is about as close as I am going to get, given the number of true DZ motors left in the market.
