1969 - Orphans / On Seattle Craigslist now 69 Z28 302 DZ block

« on: May 08, 2008, 05:37:47 AM »

I just noticed this posting today on Seattle Craigslist under auto parts. It states for sale is a 1969 Z28 engine block. There is no partial vin on the add, but there is this info:

           block casting no.    3970010
           casting date          J99
           pad stamp            V1022DZ
           seller phone no.     1-206-762-7691
           seller E-mail           benzfriendz@hotmail.com

I think the add stated the block was machined and race ready, so you probably know where this is going, but, you never know?

General Discussion / Possible find 67 L30/M20

« on: April 17, 2008, 05:11:46 PM »

Hi guys, this is my first forum registration and first post ever! 

I would like to thank Rich Fields for responding to my initial questions about my newly purchased project, 1967 V-8 Camaro.
 My new car may possibly be a 67 L30/M20 car and any help on the mystery would be greatly apreciated. I just recently bought it as a project/restore it is a rolling shell minus engine and transmission and has standard black interior with bucket seats and has clutch pedals. The rear end is a 10 bolt # PA 0320G1   The car vin is 124377L142144  The fisher body tag below.

  02B                                    L378

ST 67-12437 LOS-23134        Body
TR 760-Z                   H-H     Piant
      2LG   3K
    4P

 I guess one of the key things is where the speedo cable pierces the fire wall. I checked this and it is on the drivers side of the steering column closer to the fuse block and I believe under the clutch rod.The speedo cable is still intact. There are no provisions for a radius rod on either the rear end housing or the body. It has manual steering and manual drum brakes. No AC.
 So, the person I bought the car from said his buddy, the previous owner before him took the engine and trans out (said it was 327) when the front end got banged up, and put it in one of his other cars. Niether of those individuals new the car was possible SS or L30/M20. This is again going to be a shining H-H Mountain Green beauty.
 Any opinions on this mystery car? I can post pictures if anyone is interested, Thanks, Jeff.
