From the ad:

"The original 302 which is not currently in the car coded 3970010(v0612DZ) is included with the car."

Here's the pad.

Power steering was never offered in a 69 Z28?

[Lynn]

Yes it was.

That stamp, black grille w/black surround and still feels justified to ask $110k. Obviously well versed in correctness with that “no power steering” declaration.

[Lynn]

Not a high end resto by any means.

Isn't that block a later model truck block with the narrow pad? Not even close to being the right block.

You are correct, the 1977 and later blocks all had the small pad, I call them the lightweight blocks as lots of metal was romoved to save cost.
