Default Re: NEW 63 GS Vette's

Alan and Sonny were at the Brian Redman vintage races in July and the car is wonderful. They've done some side bracing to help with a crash at speed, but the motor is a 1965 dated ALUMINUM block that Dontov sent to Delmo Johnson for his GS in 1965. It passed from Delmo to Alan in 1968 and has been in his hands since.
It's an amazing block, I believe the first aluminum block cast. Delmo was told to install it in his GS and not to even take a valve cover off. It was race ready. He was told that he'd be given instructions on how to get it back to GM and these instructions were never forwarded. I believe that this car has the first aluminum 427 ever cast in it.
