Looking to date match a DZ Block for a Z/28 that I am restoring. I have the original crank, rods and pistons balanced up with a D9 dated NOM block but would prefer to find an original DZ stamped 010 block closer to the cars actual date of assembly which was the first week of May 69. From seeing some other original drive train cars built the same day/week, it would appear that a late cast 618 to early cast 010 block stamped V0425DZ to V0504DZ would match the car well, but know
V0430DZ being the most desirable date stamp for this cars actual build day.
I would appreciate anyone with a late April to early May block contacting me if you have or know of a nice clean core that's available. Must have an original pad stamp with broach marks and would prefer a mag report on the core and cylinders. I am less concerned with its VIN stamping unless it's the one that actually matches my car? (In which case I'd really want it). The original block survived but was sold at a swap meet back in the mid to late 70's in the PNW. Hopefully it can be found someday?
Please PM me here, or email earlwilliams567 at yahoo.ca / No re-stamps or castings earlier than April 69 please and thanks.
Thanks for looking and appreciate anyone keeping an eye out for a clean original DZ block.
