That’s awesome. I’m assuming you were able to work out a deal to reunite it with the car. I just love orange chevelles…

That’s great! I have a similar story. A good friend of mine bought the original engine out of my 69 Z in 1976, before I owned it. I bought the car in 1978 and had my engine builder, RCD Racing Engines build me a 302. My friend got married in 1980, and his wife said “You have me now, you don’t need that car”. So he sold it without telling me! I contacted the guy he sold it to and offered him my 302 for my original 302. He said no! I kept in touch with I’m for over 25 years, sending him Christmas cards and trying to get on his good side! Finally about 7 years ago he called me and said if you want this engine, come and get it! Bad news is that he had dropped a valve, and it’s gonna need a sleeve in one cylinder. But the vin is clearly stamped in the side of the block. I will be having it built when I get home from Florida!

Congratulation Buddy! Glad your perseverance paid off....

Congratulations, that is a great story. Looking forward to seeing pics.

Yes, both stories are awesome! Yay!

Congratulations. Hope the engine is in good shape. Great feeling I's sure to be getting it back.

don't want anyone to be mislead as I did find the motor.
I talked to him on the phone today for the first time. he says he dont want to sell it. -----

Figure out what his dream trade is.
Build him a motor or whatever.
Get creative.

I have acquired quite a few items that were "NOT FOR SALE"
