Nope, my only involvement is to put my guy in touch with the sellers. I'm not even working on the car.

Gary,
"Stirring the pot " question about stamping the block was not meant for you, but for person looking for a correctly dated replacement block. You know it's OK with NCRS if it "appears " like it might have been factory.

Hi Bill
Yes I know what you mean, I really don't know what his plan is regarding stamping. As we know the only original parts on a vette were the ones that left St Louis at the time.

I am very careful dealing with numbers on these cars. One example is when I was looking for date correct '66 diff housing. I contacted a lot of the major players and one in CA said he had one. I called him to confirm and he had the correct stamping but the casting was a '68, at which time he told me all he had to do was dremel the 8 into 6. I declined and found a housing that was correct elsewhere.

I just want to thank everyone for your support, I forwarded all the info over to Andy and he will be in contact directly. I'm effectively removed from this now so you can close out this thread.
