When it comes back check those numbers and let us know. Also inside the block, look for small stampimgs. Did you get the caps ??????
Does not sound like it was cast by Yenko,who took over the tooling. Not sure why you don't have a date. Believe all 1969 cast blocks had date codes but will be happily be corrected.
Presume you have checked the front stamp pad. Is there even a trace of a number ????
Did it have liners. Does it have studs.(and caps ) What bore will it be, very lucky to find one standard bore.All these attributes effect value.

check inside the Winters cast see if it has the "W" my yenko block has the winters cast with "LD" in the center
and no date casted anywhere

Make sure you get a NICB report on that "ZL-1 wagon," just to make sure there's not another with the same Vin. Wouldn't want two ZL-1 wagons the same color to show up at Barrett Jackson next year with the same vin. LOL!!!!!

Hi all; my post is a bit behind here but this is the same engine I spotted down in Pomona. No, no date codes were on this block and I specifically visually inspected it; Overall the exterior of this Block is fine including the snowflake. Good Luck!

The engine has been listed on EBay. Here is a link. Good luck to all bidders.

Jason congradulations, was a little dubious at the $17,500
asking price but you were pretty close.

Let me see if I can get these up...

OK; As you can see in the top image of the Block, the date code, at least on my Block, was located above the pan rail to the left of the lower single bolt hole for the engine mounts. I cant speak for all ZL1.s made so I am sure the placement of this dating could vary Block to Block. Hope this assists all!

The date locations are the same as the ZL-1 block I had.
