I STILL find it hard to believe that a natural order of preselection occurred back then!

You're correct, it was a crude form of inventory, crude as it was, they didn't put an engine cast in 1968 in a Corvette that was built in 1967. I think that you'd agree that the parts of a car have to be built before the car was built and sold to a customer. That's what they look at, that's what they judge.

Unless it was under warranty and was replaced at the dealer in a following year.

So again, if it was damaged during and before delivery to the dealership by the factory, then you might possibly recieve one close enough or following the build date by the GM factory to support your Judging Book.

Hello, I just took a NOS crate L88 short block to a local machine shop to have a sanity check done on it and right out of the crate the crank was .001 under with std. bearings, the cam bolts were in finger tight, and the block needed decked. It would have launched had I installed it. Larry.
