Thank you for the referral. He was super helpful. I am going to try to get all of the info he provided me, through several email exchanges, in one post. Hopefully that makes sense. See below: The block casting date is consistent with a block likely used in either a 1967 car, or, an early...

Thank you so much for the response. In your opinion, does 5/2/67 seem to early, or is that in line with your expectations? I only ask, because it is nearly impossible to get a close look at that area while the block is in the car.

I have attached a few pics of the block, along with a pic of the example location of the VIN I found online. Does anyone know how much variation exists in the location?

Can someone help me with engine identification on my 68? I assumed when I bought the car that it has a replacement engine, because it has a history of racing. However, I have been going through and speaking with all of the previous owners, and the earliest owner I can find INSISTS that this...

Yes sir. Here is my kid trying to pull through the gears. I need some more pics for sure! Ha... Don't judge...... The only other pic I have of the car is it on a trailer. Like most of these cars it seems to have an interesting history. I am doing my best to pull it all together as best I...

Not a very fancy pic, but there she is! Thank you for the warm welcomes. I can't wait for that game in Columbus! Hopefully we finally show up. It has been quite a while since we have.
