Title: 1968 302 on Facebook Market Place 124378N408524
Post by: FRANKTHECRANK on August 19, 2026, 01:37:17 PM
Ad says..."302 motor, 1968, all original, date codes and original numbers all matching, never pulled apart. If you are looking for an all original motor with all original parts, never pulled apart, for your high end restoration, THIS IS IT! Needs rebuilding. If you're serious, please call. Messages will not be responded to".


Engine casting date looks like C 6 8 (March 6th 1968). I texted him and asked if the MO date stamp and the partial VIN were on the engine pad and he said yes, but wouldn't give me that info unless I called him. I'm not interested enough to call him because that engine date casting is to early for it to be my block.

If we don't have a VIN, these posts are only of limited value.

Edited...

I added the VIN to the thread.

Pad stamped 18N408524  V0320MO

This person also has a second MO block.

I figured if someone was interested, (I was not because of the date casting number), I'd post the link to the ad so they could at least know about it, and find out if the engine was theirs. Yes, my original post did only have limited value, but I felt it had "some" value to someone looking for a March built 302. Did the seller give you info on the other MO block?

Edit...I just noticed you mentioned the other block in another thread.   18N418651 V0417MO
