Sorry to hear of your loss. It's nice to see that you updated this post though. Hang in there, and keep the dream alive!

Sorry about your grandpa. I love the Camaro. I too was very reserved about sharing my VIN or any info on an online forum. I cruised this website for a long time before I joined and waited longer to share my VIN.But I have to say this is a big Camaro family with lots of people willing to share knowledge and answer any questions. This is the best Camaro website and I'm glad you're here sharing your Camaro story with us.

Well, no pictures but my buddy brought a borescope over. Cylinder walls... do not look good. Whether or not they can just be honed or need to be bored (and whether or not it's already over-bored) I cannot tell. Suffice to say, setback further. Money was too tight to tear into it anyway...

Okay this looked way worse on the borescope.

Doesn't look horrible.

So, lots of good news. I was laid off last time I posted an update. I'm back to work, hired in fully to Ford just like Pap was and just like my Dad is. With that, the engine is *finally* going to a builder, hopefully this weekend.

Just for fun, even though it's of course not the #s matching engine, I got the codes off the back of the block




E 7 73 I assume means May 7th, 1973. I know 3998289 is the casting number. I don't know what the T14 is. I'm assuming T is Tonawanda.

I also grabbed the date codes off the heads. One is F 18 9 so June 18th 1969, the other is I 12 9 so Sep 12th 1969 if I understood them right.
