Ok Fellas...This is the second time this ole guy is tryin this. I made a post and added a picture and it was evidently too big and when I hit your back button everything was gone! Im a Mopar fella myself but Ive owned everything from Fords to a Desoto and love em all!
My queston is that I have come across what appears to be possibly a desirable piece. I dont have the knowledge of all this numbers matching thing, nor the money.... I got me a wife instead! Ya all be sure to get you at least ONE of THEM to keep you from getting what ya really want in life... Ok enuff said by this ole guy!
I have a 512 Casting block with what appears to be some sort of VIN number on it. Eyein it all up I figure its been decked but there is another number up over by the oil filter. Thats lookin like # 19N647907. Bought the whole shabang in a 55 Chevy old style gasser that I jus love. Wonderin what I got me here for a motor. Any help you younger fellas could give me would be greatly appreciated.... and guys? Could ya have me up a Rebel Flag down there with the smileys when I come back?
Thanks again for any help you can give me. If someone can even steer me to the right site to ask if no one here is certain I would be grateful. Thanks again Fellas.

According to the COPO site that is a COPO block. Here is the info as listed on there; 647907 Scuncio Chevrolet Greenville, RI Tuxedo Black. I don't know if the car is still around but the block is worth a good bit. I'll bet there are several members here that would love to buy the block from you.

Well, thanks anyway guys. ANd i dont have just the block.... I got ther whole shabang right from the oil pan to the carberator. It all came out of a car a local fella supposedly bought when he was young, but with the draft off he went.I knew his father and its been in the barn for a number of years collecting dust but in a safe place. The car was let go long ago but the man didnt buy the motor with it. My friends son bought the car brand new back then, but it was not bought in RI.... my friend is sure of it. He still has some paperwork floating around somewhere but its all too much for him now to look at. It turns and I got spark after fussin with it for awhile,so It should fire up. I thought I had me something special I was thinkin maybe it was one of those Yenko engines.Then again....thought i had me somethin when i married the misses 36 years ago too. Oh well. Im not the lucky type. Ill re-ring, paint it up nice, and run it to the cruises a few times in the summer.
I think they are telling you it IS something special.

It may is not a Yenko engine but it's the next best thing. That engine is worth a lot more that an ordinary 427. I you just want an engine to run in your 55 I would sell this one and use the money to build one hell of a motot.

If the car still exists, you may have a very motivated buyer somewhere.

I only see 2 black COPOs listed on COPO.com sold at Scuncio. One of them was a feature car on this site last year. I don't see any mention of the VIN of the car. Could this be the same car that this engine is said to be for?

Bob Harris restored N647907 back in the early '90's. I'm sure someone would love to get their original motor back! Its not the same Black Scuncio Copo that was featured on this site in '02.

I find this post EXTREMELY interesting reading with the very detailed description and the Southern drawl! You've certainly peaked some interest!
You say the engine was (is?) in the '55, but in the next post you say the engine didn't get sold with the car (presumably the COPO Camaro) and gathered dust in a barn. I'm confused, please elaborate on your story.
I would guess a couple of photos, especially of that "some sort of VIN" would help folks here understand just exactly what it is you have.

The boy who bought the car new couldnt keep his hands off anything like most yu fellas! Has to go faster always. His dad...my friend.... said the motor was out of that brand new car he signed for within 2 months and something else was going in so he could go race the gosh darned thing! He was drafted and the story goes down from there but hey thats life I s'pose.
I have eyes that work son..... are you mocking me by puttin in that quote?
The motor is NOW in my 55 but i think i am going to re-ring it and clean it up/paint it.
Damn son, when I was young I wasnt lookin at pics of car motors to get .......... well.... ill leave it there. If I take out the motor Ill be SURE to take a good picture of it for you.....
Hell, Ill maybe even put in a one of those penthouse magazines and send ya a copy.... those are what ya SHOULD be eyein boy!
Well... I still dont know what in the Lords creattion I got here but it doesnt really matter to me. Thought I had one of them Yenko Things. The boys dad is my friend...hell he's almost like Kin.... but I dont want to push him, as it beings back some hard memories. If he ever pulls out the papers he has on the darn car it came from and all those other shennanigans Ill know more then. Thanks anyway for askin.
And if my eyes stop workin so I cant read numbers ( I took it all off the motor before put it in) Ill give it ALL up son. And let me know if ya'd like picutres of the valve covers also so you can see its really a big motor and not one of the small ones.
If someone knows this boy, teach him some manners.

Buff:
OK, I understand, now. Sorry if my post came across as improper. Please post the pictures of them there biggun' valve covers.
Just between you and me, I've discovered this whole COPO, Yenko thing is one big scam! They're all fakes! None of these cars were ever made back in the 60's, it was all started by Butch McMuscle in 1981 in Hogscratch, Arkansas who was turning 'em out at the rate of 3 a week for awhile! Really (he was my third cousin twice removed)! Don't tell anyone this, though, it might burst the supercar value bubble.....
Us honest folks need to stick together.
