Looks good Mark. How’d you make out with that block. Is it in the car?

The correct block is on a stand now, as can be seen in the previous photos it is date, casting, assembly, and use code correct for the car. My VIN is 13263 and this block is 13963. Can't get any closer. However, the original may still be in the Flint area, as it was sold out of the car and not blown up. Currently in the car is a fesh rebuilt 454 . Will be back to L72 in the future.

Nice compliment from the son of the original owner today. Ed Carpenter, a second generation drag racer and State Trooper now based out of Texas, who runs a 9 second Nova. His Dad ordered the car new, and often regretted selling it. Sadly, he passed away last fall.

" I know you know this already but if you ever sell that call call me first. My dad was so happy it was being taken care of. Ed"
