One guy pointed out that a bidder who says he inspected the car, seems to only bid on this sellers cars.   I looked and hes right.

I forgot to add its a February 68 block.  From what I found looked like it would be a 327.

The block is a 68 3956618. Does that mean it was or is a 327?

Looks like tag and vin was off. Firewall may have been rusty by the look of the tag. Seller not much help and surprised no one mentioned issues yet

I compared the quanta small block no ac manual transmission to the z.  Figured if there was a difference it must be for deep pulleys.  Will do some more checking

I have a friend working on a 69Z and some reason it has non deep groove pulley, at least on the crank and if I remember right, had newer alternator.  He was asking me, if the Z motor takes a different belt for the deep groove pulleys or it just sits down deeper?  Quanta lists the z belt as a different part number than the small block non ac belt. 
We were wonder if the Z belt is wider?

My DZ looked like it had OK on the drivers side of the block there.  In one book I had it showed blocks before paint with codes wrote on the side.  I cant think which book it was. Maybe how to hot rod your small block chevy
