Engine
 

I purchased a car with this engine. Wondering if the car is still out there. Any help is appreciated.

Looks like a 67 Z/28 without smog.

Full vin would be 124377N189719 if I read that correctly.

I did an internet search with that vin and did not find anything.

Good friend of mine had his 67 Z/28 stolen around 1971. They took the engine out. He recovered the car, but never the engine. It was an exec car, and already had headers on it when he bought it in 68. There were dyno sheets in the glove box.

Insurance paid to put an engine out of a demolished 69 Z in his 67, but it never ran as good as the original motor.

Awesome story and thanks for the info. Curious what denotes "without smog". Im not too familiar with 67 Z28s.

All 68 and 69 U.S. model Z/28s had smog pumps (A.I.R.).

In 67, smog pumps were only required on the California sold vehicles.

68 all the Z motors were MO coded. 69 all were DZ.

In 67, the engines without smog pumps were coded MO.
With smog pump it would be coded MP.

Not in 1968 if one was delivered to Canada for sale. My '68 Norwood 'MO' car was KD1 smog exempt on the documentation from GM Canada..

Good info, thank you.

That would have been in an early built 67z with that VIN.

Mid March car.
There was another V0307MO for sale on TC back in 2015. The assembly stamp exhibit the same characteristics.

You should check with the CRG.

Block has been known for a long time. Car is still MIA.

Any one want to venture a guess what an early 67 MO block is worth?

Had forgotten about those. Edited my post to correct.

So the engine was still coded MO?

Did they just remove the smog tubes and plug the holes?

Or did they come with different exhaust manifolds?

Just curious.

When I got my Z2/8 it already had headers - but from the CRG site it states that the manifold holes had threaded in plugs.. and regular pcv setup on the ds valve cover.
And YES the engine in mine had the MO suffix.. 678 block, it was considered an early 1968 model build Z2/8 with December '67 year block casting and assembly date, with an original 266 'left over GM parts bin' distributor, which there were a few of.. as per JM's Definitive book..

Probably $3k, but it will sit for a while.

Unless someone has a 67 Z with a missing engine, there really isn't much market for it.

Now if someone had THE car this came in, then I am sure he or she would be glad to pony up $3k or more for it, assuming it is in decent condition with no cracks.

Though I'd throw this one in here. I'm still looking for this 67Z it was one of the first 25 and it was shipped to Rome Ga. and most likely been drag raced by Randy Payne before he joined the Ford team with Hubert Platt.

Low mile, do you still have this block? I am looking for a period correct engine for my February built 67 Z and I would be interested in yours.

Sent you a PM
