Re: MQ Code on 1969 427 Chevelle
The MQ code was used on the L78 in the 67-68 Camaro and '68 Nova. It was used again for the 4 speed 427 in the COPO Chevelles in '69. The 512 COPO block will have the two big pipe plugs in the block above the oil filter boss. That looks like a Bendix brake booster instead of the proper Delco-Morraine unit. Looks like the fenders were painted on the car. Not the type of restoration work that will draw any where near top dollar. The grill should be blacked out as well. You might want to check the centre of the tail panel between the tail lights for filled holes. They do call it a clone but it would take quite a few dollars to make it as good as they say.
