OK, someone tell me what I am missing here and why everyone is still questioning this car?


I believe what you're missing is, there was no GM production or factory service piston or head gasket available to allow the open chamber 074 heads to work satisfactorily on a 375 HP 396 or 402 engine.

No, I didn't miss that in the thread, and there are all kinds of "theories" stated here about all of that.

You can see that I am the kind of guy that is to the point and ask direct questions. Why hasn't anyone bothered to pick up the phone and call the owner and ask him directly about all of this? It seems everyone EXPECTS the owner to be sitting on his computer waiting to respond to every neighsayers comments.

Maybe you missed this, why is it that no one will respond DIRECTLY to this?

1. The experts have looked at this car and state that the hidden numbers, POP, V.I.N., and engine stampings all match and are original. It has the CKT code which indicates it is an L89 engine.

2. I understand there is some question as to the part number of the heads. So what, the car has the correct code to be an aluminum head car. Who really cares which heads it came with or not. If it were me I would take the path of least resistence and buy another ACCEPTABLE set of heads for the car, and give the new buyer both sets and let him make his own decision.
