The problem with dropping a BB in a SB car is that you have or should change too much to make it work like it should. Shocks, swaybar, front springs, radiator, heater outlets, and more, just make it foolish to start with a SB car when the cost is not that much more for a BB plus you have the old motor to resell.

He might want to look closer at the Hood? Motion hoods are distinctive! Not like anyone else ever used. If that is the correct one then just perhaps, the car could have been a hot SB from Motion and later got a BB transplant?

I agree with Belair, the NICB report will show the original dealer and if it was Baldwin or a close NY dealer to Motion then he just may have a winner there?

It would be great if he could trace the car back to a previous owner for more info. After all this time it is a almost impossible task. That I know for sure from my quest to locate any prior owners of my 69 Motion Vette.
