Default 1969 Yenko Camaro Engine Found.

I have known about this engine for more than 15 years, it was advertised for sale in Phillipsburg, PA as a COPO engine stamped T0304MN. Since I recently bought a 69 triple black X44 D80 COPO, I was looking for a real MN coded engine so I tracked down the gentleman that has owned this engine for many years & he still had it, so I made the trip to Benton, PA to buy it. When I got home on Monday I removed the paint on the surface by the oil filter & the VIN is in the registry as a 1969 Rally Green Yenko sold new at Stauffer Chevrolet, Scranton, PA/Yenko Inventory. Before I put this in my COPO, I will try to track down the current owner, I was told that the car is still in the Scranton area but I have no name.

George Edwards might know.
He has a Rally Green Yenko sold new at Stauffer Chevrolet, Scranton, PA he bought new, albeit 68 model year.
He may know the whereabouts of the 69 car.

Hopefully someone does the same for you and you find the one that belongs in your car.

Were you successful? Or has the owner decline the engine?
Thanks,
