thinking about selling COPO engine--thoughts?
Hi guys--
Just wanted your opinion on this. I'm thinking about selling my MQ code COPO engine to help me finish my 442 resto sooner rather than later. I was going to put it in my Camaro that is still waiting to be restored. Seeing as the engine really belongs in a 4-speed Chevelle, I'm thinking it might be a good idea to let it go to a proper home and then pick up another engine when I'm ready to roll with the Camaro. I also started toying with going with an L78 engine in the Camaro instead of a 427. Your input on this would be appreciated. Thanks. You guys are the best.

Has the date and code stamp. Does not have a VIN #. I'll check the date code when I get home and can look at my paperwork.

If my memory is correct, my parents got married on Saturday, June 14, 1969. This means, my engine block was stamped on a Friday. Could explain the lack of VIN stamp. I'm fairly positive it's never been decked and is not a restamp. Obviously not certain, but could explain things.  If my grandfather were still with us, I could ask him what the heck they were doing in the plant on a Friday. I'm sure he'd have some wisecrack about that.
