Ya, my favorite car, well for the right price, it would not matter to me fake or not, as long as its not stolen. A real cruiser.

It might very well be real. GM plant workers did make mistakes and Grind outs on pads have been authenticated and recognized as original. This has been discussed before.
Besides who would bother to fake a 327/300 HP? and so Blatantly, HMMM? If it was a 427/435 HP I would be very suspicious.

Well stated and I agree!

Just to give some more info the corvette in question is a late built car, probably within the last week of production. Experts have documented that several cars during the last days had production car motors changed over for Corvette use, hence the restamping. I'm no expert but here is excellent info from "Powershift" in the CorvetteForum
"The NCRS article I mentioned above is from the NCRS RESTORER Fall 1996 by Al Grenning. The article is titled: 1967 Flint Engine Switch. It specifically mentions late 1967 HE code engines and Corvette examples with VIN numbers of #22,180,#22,288, and #22694. These are very close to car #22,375 discussed above. In addition, all these grindout/restamps are V0626HE. Al Grenning explains the reason(s) in his RESTORER article. These grindout/restamp engines apparently started out life as passenger car engines, and were converted to Corvette engines due to shortages."

Well thanks for the info. I guess you learn somthing new every day.

What about the engine code on the protecto plate the Engine suffix code is VO626HEH
One to many letters at the end

Nope, for this year and application, the H means Holley Carb.

Yup, that group of June 26th engines is well-known in the Corvette restoration community - we call them the "He-he" cars. 300hp passenger car engines were converted to 300hp Corvette engines at Flint V-8, pads were ground-out and re-stamped with the engines in the shipping racks. :thumbsup:
