Interesting Z on Craig's List locally - documentation, NOM, but mostly there. Price could be better -

No mention of CE on the replacement motor and if that's the original paint the spoiler was add.
Original paint, trans & diff. CE block. Solid car.

The first page of the ownership notes state original owner had the dealership install the spoiler
Thank you Tim. It also mentions the CE block in the same verbiage... ;)
I wonder why the heads would have been replaced? I assume Chevrolet would not have authorized that right?
Also intersting to see the heater hose clamp on the alternator. I know we have discussed that before, maybe it was a early L.A. part? (seems like other early Norwood cars did not have it) My 10B L.A. car does have it

If the engine dropped a valve, the head could have taken a real beating. Hard to say why both would be replaced unless there was an issue found with the other.
Not sure if those early 1970 heads would have screw in studs and guideplates, but if they do, that may be the reason why. That is a better setup than what it would have had originally.
My 12A 69 L78 has a CE block cast June 11 69 with heads cast Feb 19 69. Owner history to 78 says it was purchased like that with 20k + miles and not ben apart since.
