I have a 69 350 cu. in. engine:
VO217WK Built in Towanda, MI Block 3956618 date B129 (Feb 12, 1969) The bores are standard and exhibit very little wear, I don't think it would need bored. Heads 3927186 date: G318 (July 31, 1968) 64 cc valves 1.94 intake, 1.50 exhaust. It was running when it was removed from the vehicle.
This engine was used in 1969 for 302, 327, and 350 between January and June of 69 while GM was tooling up for the 010 block. It is correct for a Z-28 or SS350 Clone.
So, what is it worth?
Thanks,
Ron

I assume this is a L65 or the L48's little brother. Most are 4 bolt blocks (is this). In actuality the L65 was a sleeper 350 with decent and underated power. Most put it closer to 280-to 285hp where my L48 in my 69 Camaro was 300hp. With a set of 2.02 double hump heads and a decent cam it could easily make 350hp.

I think I got my L65 and Lm1 engines confused. In 1969 the LMI was basically the same engine as my L48 with 64cc chambers except it used 75cc heads. Still a 4 bbl carb and was later replaced with the 2bbl 250 Hp L65 engine. The LM1 was underrated HP in factory form.
