wanted 69 L78 block

I have a 1974 CE block in my car. Dan Vasic along with a lot of other people have discussed this. We cannot confirm it but the motor in my car "could" have been a replacement.

The car only has 40k miles on it and it was built the 3rd week in June of 1969 which would take it to at least June of 1974 so it could still have been in the warranty window.

So I would think Jason's block would be perfect for Donnie's car.

If a lot of those older guys, like Cumby, had kept their "foot out of it"...we wouldn't have so many CE motors

I have an 824 with date code D-24-71
I didn't look at the stamp codes tonight. It is a Std 4.125 bore w/factory 4 bolt. I guess that is a little to later a date code for your project unless it is a replacement code.

Donnie, check that VIN stamp and engine code again...

JD is for a 69 Chevelle L78 4 speed...but the W in the VIN would indicate Nova application...the Novas were all JH motors...unless I'm missing something

the vin is down by the oil filter in the rough cast and its real hard to read.
