1969 427/435 hp ???
Here is what I have 1969 Corvette roller with a rear sway bar, looks like it might have a larger front sway bar not positive, 6500 rpm tach, half shafts w/ heavy duty caps, larger single fuel line and transistor module still mounted on the front of the driver side inner fender. No tank sticker,no motor, no transmission do you get the picture? I would like knowledgeable opinion's Thanks

Big mistakes on that one. Rad cap is on a small block rad as big blocks had the cap on the tank and none on the rad. The top fitting is a welded 90 degree that looks like it came from fleabay or Champion. Look at the ignition wiring with blank posts on the valve covers and the wires run behind and down like a small block.... Great example....

The top picture kid vette posted is a 68. The lower is a 69.
68 435HP radiators were direct fill and had the fill cap on the radiator. The radiators expansion capacity was built into the end tank.
69 435HP radiators did not have built in expansion capacity and a separate expansion tank was used. The radiator itself didn't have a cap and was filled through the expansion tank.

Shop around for a block some guys think they are gold but you should be able to get one for around $1k
Good Luck
