BTW, Rich painted both my 69 Z11 and my 70 Hemi Charger. He does very nice work. If I could only get some more funding I'd already have my 72 T/A over there. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/frown.gif

Sam,
This article will give you an idea what it takes, as you probably know the LS motor is not a drop-in.

PS Steve Heino does good work if you want to bring your car out to the Portland area...

As of today, how is your Z coming along Sam? Is it torn down any further, and do you have anymore pictures? https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...iggthumpup.gif

Im putting them up as I get them, Im hoping the body is in good shape..Ive had the car since 1981 and it has never been wet so Im keeping my fingers crossed..Not sure of any history with the car other than I bought it out in Newtown Square Pa. off of a cop who got it off of a kid who was killed in an accident. (Not in the car)...If anyone knows or think they know about this let me know...I have an old title so I can verify anything you can find..

Re: 1969 Z/28 Restoration Pictures
 

Sam, are you going to have the body dipped like mine was? Lots of little dents, holes and assorted panel repairs popped up so Rich replaced it all with NOS metal. If you're confident about the body it could probably just be blasted.
