Chris,

If it has a '69 Camaro VIN on it, JH is 396/375 with iron heads, and manual trans.

chuck
well something is very funny then!!!!

because reading their ad it says numbers matching?

and i have the original engine here in canada???

(by the way i was the gentleman that bought the CE NOS LT1 block for my deuce yenko from you)

so what do i do next because this is the ORIGINAL engine for that car...can we get in touch with them? is it a guy on this yenko registry site?

and what would you say the engine would be worth to them being the true original engine?

i would pay you a fee to assist

also i am looking for several things on this site under "parts wanted" i am user name "madden"
so if you have or can get me any of these items i would appreciate it

regards
chris

Well, the add also says undocumented L89, so...I think the experts would need to see the pad stamps. I can't see a 67 block coming in a June 69 car.

well is it worth contacting the owner
how would i find the car

also chuck the engine came with and does have ZL1 alum heads on it?

would appreciate you looking to see if you have any of the parts im looking for

especially the deuce nova 4 spd rad and the two original 1970 GM touch up paints im trying to get

thx

it is NOT very clear...and hard to read on the side of the block

maybe i should take a picture and send to you?
