Re: Correct Engine 68 RSSS 396
$10,000 or more? Are you going to restamp the engine?

Re: Correct Engine 68 RSSS 396
Without the original engine or POP, you WILL put a whole bunch more money in the car to restore it than it will be worth. Sounds like you could put the motor you have in it and have fun and enjoy the car. Or you could put a ZZ502 in it and really have fun. Good luck with it.

Re: Correct Engine 68 RSSS 396
When we had the business, over time we had 2 customers fastidious about locating correctly dated components for their non-OE engine cars. Both cars have since been mis-represented as having original drivetrains. I still see one of them at local shows: a '69 Z/28 with a repro body tag displayed as a "numbers-matching" Z/28. So when I see guys asking about casting dates it makes me wonder what is really going on.
Since the VIN stamp on a '68 engine is very easy to read what are your plans? It still won't be the OE engine...

No not going to restamp the engine just get the right one for a "Correct engine" .
