It would appear that by then Tonawanda did indeed run out of "I"s

I'm not asking anyone to take sides or make any accusations. I'm just trying to learn, before I get into a deal.

Oftentimes, when I look at cars my heart tends to lean towards "buy them all"... when my head knows that I have to be smart about any prospective purchase.

Thanks again for all the feedback.

Hey Paceme,
You don't happen to have the Cobleskill, NY L78 Z11, do you?

After I took my head out of my a-- and fresh air got to my brain I agree there is nothing wrong with the block stamping jmo Kim [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

No, this car is from PA. I purchased it from the second owner who had owned it since 1971. When he retired, he moved to Fla, which is where I purchased it.

There are Noverember, 11 390 horse Corvettes with ones and I's in the stamping. This stamp would be TIIIIIL for a November, 11 IL code motor. Even the I character is documented with different style I's. The car I saw had two different types of I's and a 1 used for this date code.
The key is other cars with engine stampings of the same date had the same features. These unusual cars will validate each other. A '68 L88 in Houston has a engine build stamp with a 1 in place of an I for the engine designation. This car was considered a fake or at least a questionable car until another '68 L88 that was the next car built turned up independently with the same feature.

Re: Muncie trans Stamping
 

I was looking at a case at the shop yesterday and it has a = "F9S01A" stamped on the R side of the case with no Vin # and there is a square stamped on the very top of the tail housing boss at the top of the case. casting is 3925660. Is this a over the counter trans? Not out of a car.
