1969 COPO Camaro 124279N680258 Engine Found Anyone Know This Car?

Keith, the owner could try acid etching of the pad as I tried on my 302. Some have had success (I didn't, unfortunately) recovering numbers. You can buy an entire kit for about $30 online at some CSI outlets. I can post where I got my kit if that helps.

MO

Willing to bet money on it. Top tips of the M are visible, lower half of O is obvious to me.

And I'm gonna go with T0 ? 28 MO for the whole stamp.

You guys are probably right about the pad stamp being mutilated for unpure reasons but who really knows. Its really a shame since the rest of the engine is awesome. It is still standard bore and looks like it will stay that way. The crank is even still STD/STD. It was greased up and stashed away 30 years ago.

I own 680415....I agree with the 8-22 assembly date.

Top of it looks like an 8 but I can see a horizontal stroke at bottom that could be bottom 2 , I will defer to your superior knowledge of dates of these copo blocks. I pointed out the tips of the M with red arrows.

Good detective work

[SuperNovaSS]

Thank you all for all the input and detective work. For what its worth, the crank has a pilot bushing in it for a manual trans. It sounds like the car is not known. I will get the engine posted in the classifieds.


Thanks again,

Yep, T0828M*. That date makes the most sense for that VIN.
