Hello, I am posting this on this website in the hopes that I may find the car that matches the COPO engine I have and sell the engine, or buy the car. I am not sure what type of vehicle it was in: Camaro, Chevelle, Biscayne, Impalla, NOVA. But it is an authentic 3963512 4 bolt main complete from carb to pan. Professionally rebuilt and he said that it apparently has very little miles on it as the crank/rods/pistons have the OE paint markings on them.
In any event, here are the numbers on the front deck:T0121LS
VIN 190246425. Any help direction would be appreciated.

Welcome to you Kenneth.
The LS code is a 1969 Impala 427/425 HP w/TH400 Tonawanda assembled on Jan.21st 1969.
CON VIN declares it as a 1969 Oshawa Canada built car.
This is Not a COPO Vehicle at all,but a Regular Production Option,but only 546 RPO L72 passenger cars were produced that year.Still a Very Cool engine.
Have you done a VIN search for that vehicle?
