General Discussion / Re: MO Block
« Last post by bcmiller on March 24, 2025, 02:10:17 PM »Opinions will vary on what is best. I have posted my opinion before and here is what it is now. This may be different than in the past.
Desirability of a block.
1. The original one to the car, the one that came in the car at the time of vehicle assembly.
2. A CE block with warranty paperwork to prove it was replaced under warranty.
3. A block of the same year and same 2 letter engine code (or 3 if after 1969) but from another car.
4. A CE block of unknown history.
5. Any other non original block of the same general time frame.

Restoration / Re: 1969 Z28 radiator hoses
« Last post by john302 on March 24, 2025, 12:31:25 AM »Pacecar Jeffs are not the correct size fonts . Far from correct in my opinion . Only way to do it correct is find an original hose and have a custom stamp made .

Opining may vary.
I am not sure the Best Search syntax to gather those thread.
Other will chime in with good data-results
Same situ as you are. (*Mine is a CE, no paper but very plausable based on as found and document conditions) Tough go for us 68 Guys for sure

« Last post by rocco376 on March 23, 2025, 05:44:50 PM »I have often wondered what the odds are of finding an original engine for a car. I would guess, astronomical. My opinion-if you have a nice Chevy motor in the car, why bother with spending the money on something else,that is still just a nice Chevy motor, not original, and may deprive someone else that is looking for that engine.. Just my 2 cents.

General Discussion / MO Block
« Last post by yankeechaser on March 23, 2025, 05:33:36 PM »I ran across a MO Block from a 02 built car. My Z has a 678 68 dated corvette stamped block. I may never find a real Z Block is it worth the investment even if it's not my Vin.
