Hey Joe, are you from the LA area? If so are you old enough to remember Barnette Chevrolet or JD Corvette? If so maybe we crossed paths back then.
Also I found that the SB I have for one of my vette's is the special 1966 chevy II block with the oil filter mod. It is the high perf 327 and I used it with a 30-30 cam for years and couldn't have wanted more. Then re boared & ballanced along with every thing else and was going to put it in my other vette. I know now that I have to put the correct engine in my other vette and read that the chevy II block was 1964- 1967 production only and is rare.
I want it to find a home back in a chevy II and have tried to get in touch with a club but had no luck.
I think the engine I need is a 300/327 for my 63 coupe. I got the original differential along with the vin & trim tag and maybee that will give me a clue as to when it was built. I bought it wrecked W/O engine & trans back in 1971. Who knew back then that we would be #'s today. The guy put the 63 engine in his jeep and I got the rest. I also bought my 67 coupe then W/O engine & trans and watched them pull the 435 HP out and sell it. I bought that car from JD Corvette (Salvage) and they took the trim & vin tags when they did that, (looked crooked to me ). My car is a true blond with no tags. Didn't find paper on tank or under seats. But I might have thrown that away when I re did the car in 71. I did save the original AS-IS bill of sale I got then.
The good news was that the 63 was $150.00 and the 67 $550.00. Both wrer concidered total wrecks at the time.
