In the PNW a ORIG owner sale on a 50kmile CX is $700 for the core. Stuck in a ORIG owners garage floor and advertised on a piece of cardboard at a swap meet, He knew it was special He was a retired service mechanic from Camas CHEVROLET in Vancouver WA. Not sure how I did but it does not matter I purchased it to USE &amp; ABUSE(enjoy) it (Joking)It sure likes to wind up. Silly me it is behind a L35 and a obvious missmatch. Found a CE 1967 cast L78 (From ID.) to be built at a latter date to power the 68 sometime soon.
This thread was very helpfull and I am thankful for the contributors.

It originally came in either a 1970 Chevelle/Elcamino 450HP/LS-6,or a 1970 Corvette 390HP/LS-5,both equipped with a TH400 obviously.

Any other numbers on the lower pat of the tag?

..it was assembled on Saturday Dec.19th,1969.
