i have a friend that lives some distance away who has a 1968 Z-28 302 engine. it was supposedly freshened and run for a short period of time. it is supposed to run excellent though and i know he would stand behind it. it has been in his heated garage for 5 years. i believe it is complete from manifold to oil pan. i don't think it has the correct carb and pullies though it might. only potential problem is it is bored .060. i believe the car it came in wasn't the correct car and is long gone. what do you think. i'm tempted to buy it but don't really need it. i think it would be fun to put in a early body foe a Z-28 clone with a stick and 4.88 gears. thanx mike

thats what i thought. i'm assumining its on its last rebuild. i have no experience with the 302 engine. to me it would just be a novelty. the .060 makes me nervous as i'm sure i'd be twisting the little sucker with 4.88 gears. mike

If you are comfortable with price you could put it in a car and have fun, or part it out.

I wouldn't stress the 60 over.
