Thanks. Been doing that for a while and have scoured the orphan pages more than a few times. Will keep it up in hopes of finding the original 9N641XXX block or a real clean date matched block from late April to Early May. I have a lot of original paper on this car already and just need to find the right DZ block for it's early May build date.

Great resource site.

Full history and restoration on www.x77z28.com

Original engine replaced with 350/255 during its Super Stock days. Original trans was changed out too. Original diff was still in the car when I bought it but was twisted and hacked up too far. Replaced diff with date correct BV rear and have 2 motors and trans to choose from for completion. Body is finished but still deciding on Day 2 tweaks to keep some nostalgia in it. Hoping to track down the original block some day. It was sold off at a swap meet back in the 70's. I know full ownership back to day 1 with 1st and 2nd owners keeping a close eye on the cars restoration. Does have GM Canada paperwork in addition to a lot of paper supplied to me by the original owner. Neat car in either case and will have most if not all date correct running gear when it's finished up.

Current picture with body and paint just completed - before reassembly.

I'm new here and was just looking through the Orphan section. Is there a place on the site where someone can post a VIN where they are looking for an orphaned motor originally separated from a car? Such as an posting with Original VXXXXDZ Wanted?

Thanks

A couple pics of a 69Z I now own after it was raced for 45 years. It spent 14 years racing S/S by it's original & second owner (friends) and another 30 years as a bracket car with the next couple owners. I am now in the midst of restoring the car but love it's long history as a drag car in the Pacific Northwest.

Calgary 1970 - Mostly stock looking then. Paired with Wosolinski's Tuff Nuff Hemi Cuda


Edmonton 1971/1972 - Stripes extended down the rear but still looking stock.


Fort St John BC 1973 - Home after mini tubs added and front solo stripe added


Matched up in Seattle with a 55 Post and seeing "Suddenly" 67 Camaro in the background.


Seattle 1974 - Newer paint scheme resembling a Motion Camaro


Seattle 1978 - Additional side stripe added with rear deck in white.


Oregon Woodburn 1980 - Second owner with car in the staging lanes.


Seattle 1981 - Heavy hitters like Rehr Morrison, Yule, Lambreck, McKinney, Wosolinski and others in the background.
