No you could not get a 327 with an M21, I posted the Power Team chart, find on there any other engine than an L72 that lists the 4-Spd Close Ratio Trans???

hello folks.
after consultation with some others, i am being told what i have is a true L72 due to the 2Q code, the date correct M21 and date correct 4:88 12 bolt, exactly as some of you noted.
i also failed to mention the car has a transistorized ignition, which also makes sense.

if anyone would know where i could source what i'm missing, like the tach, idler pulley, correct exhaust manifolds and date correct original block, i would be really appreciative.

also, id like to register this with the right group and/or find out if the car is already registered.
anyone know how to go about that?..

any help would be appreicated

It's in my research database from when I previously saw it for sale. Nice to have the extra data! Can you get a pic of the partial vin stamp on the front, side of the trans, opposite side from the date code? Also, look for a metal part number tag attached to one of the side cover bolts.

It's one of the last L72's built for 66. Janesville production ended 2nd week of June but your vin, 6J301893 is only 42 from the end of production there, which was 6J301935!

I have data on 22 66 L72 2nd sedans
