Yes, Flint block. Sold for $686. Not a bad deal.

:noway: that IS NOT a "Flint" block ;)

It is rare that it's a 3rd shift Tonawanda casting though :D

Ahhh crap, I got the does have plug/doesn't have plug mixed up again.

I will now write on the blackboard Flint block = plug, Tonowanda block = no plug 10,000 times...

Don't sweat it Eric, I had a 50/50 chance and got it right. 80 degrees and sunny in Buffalo, time to celebrate with a beer. ;)

:D not a problem, I've just own(ed) a few Flints in my day and know how to pick them out ;)

Now-a-days, the best way to tell if it's a bogus "Z" item or not is to look on 'eBain' - if it's there ... it's most likely bogus l:)

Without being able to see the plant designation in the VIN stamping, it would be pure speculation that it is even a Camaro Block. It is definately not an original DZ block, thats for sure. I have my doubts that its got a Camaro VIN.
