#270 blocks in COPOs?
Just curious if this was possible, as the 270 pre-dated the 512. Could early COPO cars have gotten left over 270s?

Re: #270 blocks in COPOs?
Just curious, as we have always "assumed" our block wasn't the original, as all we've heard is that it's supposed to be a 512, and the previous owner sold it as such. But, we tore it down the other night, and noticed the correct stampings (dated Feb. in a March car), in the correct places, and wondered. It also appears to be standard bore.

Re: #270 blocks in COPOs?
MikeA;
No, I had to add a second period to the second post, it wouldn't allow me to post the same response twice.

Re: #270 blocks in COPOs?
I believe the doc'd 272 block COPO car is in CT.

Re: #270 blocks in COPOs?
We have a L-88 Corvette in OZ, build sheet tanker sticker know owner history, racing history in SE Asia, and period photos.
Ordered Dec 1968 Built Feb 1969 Block 270. The supply of 4 bolt blocks had built up as expected demand had not been met. Probably the reason for the COPO program, ....just a reason to get rid of all the back inventory (failed attempt at humour )

Re: #270 blocks in COPOs?
Marlin,
While it would be interesting and historic to find a Documented "270"-427 block L72 1969 COPO car, it would be even more interesting to see this documented 1969 COPO-L72 "272"-396 block car, which you mention [img]/ubbthreads/images/icons/confused.gif[/img] Would this be similar to the Shelby GT 500 production, where Ford ran out of 428s and Substituted 390s without disclosing to the public/consumers?
