"THIS IS A 1969 Z-28 CAMARO BLOCK. MOST 69 BLOCKS WERE 4 BOLT MAINBLOCKS. HOWEVER, GM DOCUMENTED THAT A SMALL NUMBER OF 2 BOLT BLOCKS WERE USED ALSO. THIS IS ONE OF THEM."

LOL....run.......

No way.

the 386 block is a late 1968 - jan 1969,,, that date would be a 010 block NO WAY REAL

no way to know if most blocks were 2 or 4 bolt without tearing them all down. thats a flat out lie but on ebay it doesnt surprise me.

The first 302's (67 & 68) were 2 bolt small journal mains. 69 was the first year for a 4 bolt large journal.

He says right in the ad that it's been decked and all the numbers removed. He ought to know it's just another block, now. Be interesting to know what the original stamp was. I doubt it was DZ. :sad:

With no numbers this is a dime a dozen 2 bolt block. Nothing to discus here!

You are absolutely right Mike but my question was not about the numbers on the block but rather did they make 2 bolt main blocks that went into Z's?..From some of the comments it appears that was true for 67-68 blocks but not for 69...

There were no 4 bolt main small blocks from the factory before the 1969 model year. All 67 (MO and MP) and 68 (MO) 302's were 2 bolt main and all DZ 302's were 4 bolt main.

I did. I haven't received a response.

For what it's worth 67 was the last year for the small journal SBC. 68 would have had a large journal block.

You are correct. And the 68 block was a 2 bolt.

Thanks to all for clarifying this for me..:beers:

Why is it that I think he does already :rolleyes:
Probably doesn't care, specially if he can pawn it off on some poor newbie :pout:
Anyone who sells as much engine related 'Stuff' as he does probably should know what he has ...

Afterall, it's the ability to make up great stories about the $hit you're sellin' that makes eBain so great - isn't it :stirpot:

A quick question re this subject. Can the deck of an engine be resurfaced without removing the serial #'s?

it CAN be, but you'd better be standing over the machinist with a gun to his head.
