That is a damaged block for sure, but it may be repairable depending on the extent of the damage. According to Jerry's report on that car, the engine is a restamp as is the transmission.

According to the owner the transmission in the pic of the ebay auction is the trans that was out for re-build when Jerry came to look at the car in '09. The VIN down by the oil filter is not a re-stamp - seems clear to me it's the matching numbers block, even if the pad itself is a re-stamp...and Jerry has verified that VIN as a Z28 sooooo...

The &quot;3&quot;s on the engine stamp have a flat head while the &quot;3&quot;s on trans have a round head.

Looks like alot of the stamps are wrong. I am on my phone and couldn't see the block vin well but the vin on it and the transmission should be identical. If he says the transmission is not the one jerry saw and they don't match, one is for sure restamped. My car is built the same week

only problem with it Des is that you will have to tell stories and defend certain things about this car forever.

It sounds like a &quot;story&quot; to me. Jerry's write up says restamped transmission. Why would there be two transmissions, one restamped with an M20 code and one &quot;original&quot; with an M22 stamping, for this vehicle in question? I've never even heard of that scenario unless the original was reunited with the car at some point from the CRG database. Don't get me wrong, it would be a killer X33 Z28 once restored, but there are a lot of stories attached.
