There is one of those &quot;infamous&quot; valve stem caps Brent-Min.

Re: Brents 1967 Chevelle L79 now has a 427 L88
 

wow, how do you find these! [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/worship.gif[/img] any sign of the original L79?

Re: Brents 1967 Chevelle L79 now has a 427 L88
 

Yes the ep engine code and KK rear code from the protecto plate stamp on that work sheet .it has the original 12 bolt in it also

Re: Brents 1967 Chevelle L79 now has a 427 L88
 

I think Dave was asking if the original L79 engine survives.

Re: Brents 1967 Chevelle L79 now has a 427 L88
 

He sold it in 1971 I herd it went into a stock car going to try to hunt it down the car was local to me I have been chasing this car since 1987

Re: Brents 1967 Chevelle L79 now has a 427 L88
 

BIG congrats Brent also friggin' W[img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/headbang.gif[/img]W!!!
Especially cool if you've been chasing it for years but man what a sinister and potent piece!
Best of luck backtracking to the original L79 lump as finding it would sure help w/ the keeping/separating the L88 from the car conundrum being engine alone could be appreciated and worth 'too much' to a real '69 L88 guy missing their original?
Congrats again and best if luck w/ everything also looking forward to what you top this with in 2016!

Very cool Brent! Be sure to keep us updated on progress please.

Re: Brents 1967 Chevelle L79 now has a 427 L88
 

Note how the factory cleaned the parting lines of that cylinder head. They used big snag grinders in production shops.

Re: Brents 1967 Chevelle L79 now has a 427 L88
 

Is this a factory over the counter motor I don't see a vin on the side and how do you read the date codes on the heads thanks to everyone for the good words

Re: Brents 1967 Chevelle L79 now has a 427 L88
 

I would think that is an OTC L88. The head have their date codes on the bottom side, so you will have to pull the intake and look underneath with a mirror.
Very cool find on this car!

Good golly Miss Molly. Killer! Congrats! [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/laugh.gif[/img]

Re: Brents 1967 Chevelle L79 now has a 427 L88
 

----Brent,,,Theres a 69 L88 Corvette owner somewhere out there that wants that motor,,,probably badly! Casting date for the block should be on the bellhousing flange opposite the casting # (pass side). Give us that and I may be able to find a buyer if you want. &quot;LO&quot; is an acceptable stamp for an L88 Corvette in my books, but its showing that as &quot;no transistor ignition&quot; and all 69 L88 Corvettes had to have TI on the order form! Not sure I understand that part.......Bill S

Re: Brents 1967 Chevelle L79 now has a 427 L88
 

Bill's right on as being a Vinless but complete Suffix production style engine, it's perfect place is w/ a real L88 chassis also true enthusiast who's willing to buck up for genuine original stuff like this.
Stamping looks good against one I compared to from this same month June of '69, the zero's and Ohhh's also flat back sixes all appear exactly correct plus the wide spacing between L &amp; O etc.
Not sure about the TI being on orders as Bill mentioned but of note &amp; to confuse the issue further, the 67-68 L88 Suffix was IT also possibly some early 69's too then the '69 LO Suffix as this example.
Again as previously, being such a cool car it's a shame to separate it from the car if engine value too high so really hoping the original L79 can be found to help you feel better about splitting them up.
What distributor does it have?
Again awesome score!!!

Does it have to be painted black before you buy them Brent? Nice fly eye air cleaner!
