Default Re: 69 BB identification

Marlin, I didn't realize that the single 3/8 fuel line meant it was a 375hp from the factory. I've been bumming since Sunday because I thought all BB's had to have 2 fuel lines. Now the biggest remaining item is why does it have a small block transmission xmember and I may have some insight. Without a doubt the radiator support is a big block. But, it has a small block radiator in it. I noticed when I bought the car the radiator was much too small for the opening in the support - 2 or 3 inches small with the gap being on the driver's side. Anyway, my hunch is that someone took the transmission and radiator out of a 70 Chevelle and put it in my car. I need to get a VIN# off the tranny to see if it matches up to my thoughts. Any special numbers I can use to ID the radiator (I'm going to check Colvin's book anyhow. So the big question remains - why a SB transmission xmember? YDR, super nice cars. Is that second one forest green? I'm dying to see all of Todd's lined up especially with lowmiles old car in there!
