To confirm, the engine in the Pacer you were hoping was yours is Owens' daughter's car you noted above?
Thanks for sharing all this great stuff, looking forward to more also resto updates!

Pete, thank you!
To clarify my block 7N212598 is still around in the REMOVED car according to Bruce (different car than pacer).

I previously thought my block was in said pacer but after the current owner of the Pacer from Washington state texted me yesterday the vin was 212552 no match. I thought my block was long lost until Bruce told me today where it is.

FWIW I swear I saw the car for sale in the last few months.
The vin on the Pacer is 7N212552

Great job researching all the history and good luck on getting some vintage pics from the various owners!

Default Get your block

It would be great to get the original block back with your car. Good detective work, hats off to you Jose.

You absolutely have to get your original engine. Even if you buy the owner a new crate engine it’s worth it.
