So did you look at the "68" and find a different VIN'd motor in it?

[ggtsvnv]

Ill have to check.....that is close to mine but, i think its a little off. I can hope though.

Do you still have or know the location of this motor? I have a 68 Z28 with VIN# 124378N433833. I have been searching for this engine for over 30 years.

Anyone on here know a member that goes by wisemanz28. If you know him, please tell him to get ahold of me. He knows the location of the original MO motor for my Z28 but I can't get ahold of him by email or a response on this forum. Any help would be appreciated.

I split your post off of the completely unrelated post and then attached it to the relevant post.

He was on the site a month. You got his email address and sent him an email directly?

[wisemanz28]

Kurt has made me aware of your recent post Slimjim. My cousin and I originally looked at a 68 Z28 that this guy had in his barn and outside in a 78 Malibu he had the MO 302. He said it ran and my cousin is trying to find his information. The engine is located in Okolona Ohio, just west of Napoleon Ohio.

[Slimjim379]

Awesome news. Thank you so much for getting back to me. Hopefully the motor is still there. Let me know when he finds the info. Thanks again.

[wisemanz28]

Where are you located, I'm curious as to how far the car is from the motor.

[Slimjim379]

I live just south of Perrysburg Ohio. My Z28 was sold new at Floyd Dugan Chevy in Toledo to a man in Maumee. After that, 4 different neighbors of mine had owned the car, until I bought it in the early 90's. The engine, for some reason, was pulled and sold by one of them and the car has been a roller ever since. Okolona is around 40 miles from where I live.

[wisemanz28]

I live in Maumee. I really hope you can get that engine, sounds like that car deserves to be reunited with it's original motor.

[Slimjim379]

Oh wow. Your close to me then. I kinda figured that motor was grenaded back in the 80's but have been searching for a long time hoping someday I might find it. Do you remember if the guy was in town or out in the country ?

[wisemanz28]

He's in the country, he lives on a farm

[Slimjim379]

Oh cool. We will have something in common then. We farm also. If you need to call or text, my cell number is 419-266-4426. Do you have any first gen Camaros ?

[wisemanz28]

I have a 69 Z28. I've owned the Z since 1988. The car has the original DZ engine but it doesn't have the original transmission. I've been looking for it for 37 years so I feel your frustration. When I looked at Dave's 68 Z , it was a total restoration, it needed a lot of metal work , didn't have the original drivetrain, had some cool options like a tic tok tach and it had a trans in the trunk but I think it was date coded for a 69 Camaro.
