Just to To confirm this is the original DZ block that came out of this X33 Z/28 Camaro! The engine had to be decked and we wanted to ensure a tight and reliable motor. This engine was built by professional engine builder MEP in Muncie, Indiana. I assure you that if the stamping could’ve been saved it would’ve been and I’ve provided the original numbers and stamp in photos.

yes I agree sounds like hes claiming it is the motor that was for this car. Now trying to correct that statement. A lot of conflicting info!!

Sorry but I am not buying this at all. I also think its a huge stretch to have a Late June engine in a Late August car.

I'm not even convinced that the car started life as an X33 car, since the tag has been off the car. That's why I would be looking for the larger diameter trunk torsion bar. If it has the smaller rods, then the car was never built with a rear spoiler. By August the spoiler was part of the RPO, so if not equipped it would throw the provenance of this car even more into question. Caveat Emptor.

Tag has definately been off the car. I think the tag is real. There are alot of issues with this car including the stories associated with it. Its does not look to be a quality 69 Z28.

Tag is real, but who knows if it was on this car originally. I guess the build date seems to fall in line with the VIN sequence, so it has that going for it. For the life of me in this day and age I can't understand why someone would grind the numbers off of a DZ block and then try to restamp it with generic gang numbers.
