My '67s 327/350 "appears to be" original to the car, as they say in the judging trade.

Believe none of what you hear or read and 1/2 of what you see.

We're settling into a pattern on the voting. Also, it's interesting to see how many people lurk on our side of the forum in one evening. More than I think. I'd say there are about 20 regular posters here, and maybe another 20 semi frequent ones.

My 66's engine looks to the untrained eye like a 350 hp midyear engine but one look at the casting number will reveal a 350 CI mill. Still love it though.

Doc, aka Bruce,
My rear end is all original and rests every night in a king size bed.
No need to check it out.

No, my '66 L79 has a replacement block. The story I was told was the original owner left it outside during it's first winter in Denver, without anti-freeze, and cracked the block. He put in a '67 replacement block and kept the original, as did all 6 of the following owners. It is now resting in my garage.
