Freddie,
Both appear to be 396 blocks. We have spent so much time clearing the storage unit that I haven’t had a chance to research the block numbers. Both look like they have the same stamp code of 3955272; but one says 3955272 T. Haven’t verified any matching numbers etc. What I do know is that the matching numbers DZ302 motor for the Z28 is offsite at a mechanic’s. I’m hoping one of these two are the matching block for the pace car. Based on what I’ve read, the overwhelming majority of pace cars came with the small block 350, however, a 396 was also an option. I’m hoping that’s what we have here. Ryan

Great cars to find together in a deal like that .
Enough to make anyone really happy . When its all sorted out it should get even more interesting than the thread on the missing Red 69. Real interesting chain of events you have encountered. Thanks for sharing with us . Congrats and good wishes

The 4 bolt block would be a L78 block. If you have a L78 pace car then that's real special.

Freddie,
I’m hoping so...I know it was relatively rare to have a big block in a pace car from the factory. Still looking into it but its looking good so far...the block is showing a casting date for April 69. Pace cars came out in February onward if I remember correctly. Baron, Thank you! I’ll try to keep you all updated on the progress.

BB pacers are rare however L78 Pacers are SUPER RARE...
L78 VERTS are EASY SIX FIGURE CARS.

Both the Z/28 and the Pace Car have matching numbers engines... But the huuuuuuge news is that the Pace Car IS in fact an L78 396/375HP 4-speed car. I am floored!
