Re: lift hooks
I would say that aluminum intake big and small blocks had the natural lift brackets and the cast iron ones were painted when the entire engine was painted.I have seen a few survivor cars that had the natural brackets.Some people that i talked to in the past had there cars judged at big shows said the same thing,natural for the aluminum intakes.

Re: lift hooks
True on big block cars but my research has shown that all of the untouched survivors such as Z28s have had painted engine lift hooks.
I will post photos of survivors from my data base when I get back from Iowa. Jerry |

Re: lift hooks
I found 3 different kinds of lift hooks on ebay and they all say they are for a 69 Z. One set is says VR, one set is a horseshoe and the last has an M. Are any of these correct?
Thanks, John |
Re: lift hooks
Let's see, GM was mass producing these engines, but they had, maybe a new guy that couldn't do anything else, take all of the engine lift brackets, hang them up, and paint them, so they could put them on the aluminum intake cars ???? Or maybe just the Z/28's, because they were special. Makes perfectly good sense to me..... https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/bs.gif https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/bs.gif https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/bs.gif There were also no runs in any of the paint on the firewalls, nor overspray on the big block manifolds. Also ALL of the spotwelds were absolutely perfect, like the marks that a #2 pencel eraser makes. You know, they took the time to dress the welder tips after every weld. Is the sky blue in your world ????

Here is a pic of the correct 69 small block brackets. I think they were stamped with a letter K or a circle with a letter inside, I cant remember. https://www.yenko.net/attachments/383...smallblock.jpg [/ QUOTE ]John, You can't go wrong with these. All the survivor Z's I saw were this style. I personally have not seen any in an orange tone of color either. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/dunno.gif |
