Re: Brents 1967 Chevelle L79 now has a 427 L88
BIG congrats Brent also friggin' W[img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/headbang.gif[/img]W!!! Especially cool if you've been chasing it for years but man what a sinister and potent piece! Best of luck backtracking to the original L79 lump as finding it would sure help w/ the keeping/separating the L88 from the car conundrum being engine alone could be appreciated and worth 'too much' to a real '69 L88 guy missing their original? Congrats again and best if luck w/ everything also looking forward to what you top this with in 2016! [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/burnout.gif[/img] ~ Pete

Note how the factory cleaned the parting lines of that cylinder head. They used big snag grinders in production shops.

Re: Brents 1967 Chevelle L79 now has a 427 L88
Is this a factory over the counter motor I don't see a vin on the side and how do you read the date codes on the heads thanks to everyone for the good words

Re: Brents 1967 Chevelle L79 now has a 427 L88
I would think that is an OTC L88. The head have their date codes on the bottom side, so you will have to pull the intake and look underneath with a mirror.
Very cool find on this car!

Re: Brents 1967 Chevelle L79 now has a 427 L88
Bill's right on as being a Vinless but complete Suffix production style engine, it's perfect place is w/ a real L88 chassis also true enthusiast who's willing to buck up for genuine original stuff like this. Stamping looks good against one I compared to from this same month June of '69, the zero's and Ohhh's also flat back sixes all appear exactly correct plus the wide spacing between L & O etc. Not sure about the TI being on orders as Bill mentioned but of note & to confuse the issue further, the 67-68 L88 Suffix was IT also possibly some early 69's too then the '69 LO Suffix as this example. Again as previously, being such a cool car it's a shame to separate it from the car if engine value too high so really hoping the original L79 can be found to help you feel better about splitting them up. What distributor does it have? Again awesome score!!! [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/beers.gif[/img] ~ Pete
