Re: Opinions on this Block Stamp
Don,
Can you get one with the paint removed so that we can see the broach marks? Or are you trying to do this from afar? Also given that it is a Flint assembled engine it should have the 1/4" square plug in the front passenger side of the block at an angle towards the cam shaft.

Re: Opinions on this Block Stamp
Thanks for jumping in James.
Yes, we are dealing from quite afar. Proposed purchaser is about 200 miles from me and the car is about 1500 miles from him. Don't have a picture of that particular area. We have this general engine shot which may or may not help.

Re: Opinions on this Block Stamp
I am nieve as heck when it comes to small blocks but I thought the L79 came with aluminum intake, Holley carb and chrome trim. This looks like a standard 275 hp 327. Maybe I better stick to big blocks.

Re: Opinions on this Block Stamp
'65 & '66 versions had the Aluminum intake/Holley combo. Maybe the '67s too, but the '68 was definitely an iron intake and QJ. They also lost the solid cams along the line.

Re: Opinions on this Block Stamp
Going strictly from memory, Don's second picture looks correct for a '68. One of our local guys had a white '68 Malibu L-79 4 speed car. I was surprised when I finally got a peek under the hood. I was expecting the Alum. intake, a Holley and the Chrome accessories like I had seen on the '65 Chevelles and the '66 & 7 Novas. Still, a pretty stout small block.
Who's our L-79 expert? Jeff Latondress, where are you?
