thinking about selling COPO engine--thoughts?
 

Hi guys--

Just wanted your opinion on this. I'm thinking about selling my MQ code COPO engine to help me finish my 442 resto sooner rather than later.

I was going to put it in my Camaro that is still waiting to be restored. Seeing as the engine really belongs in a 4-speed Chevelle, I'm thinking it might be a good idea to let it go to a proper home and then pick up another engine when I'm ready to roll with the Camaro.

I also started toying with going with an L78 engine in the Camaro instead of a 427.

Your input on this would be appreciated.

Thanks. You guys are the best. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...iggthumpup.gif

Any numbers on that block??? https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ns/naughty.gif my NY sold COPO is missing the block T0627MQ

Has the date and code stamp. Does not have a VIN #. I'll check the date code when I get home and can look at my paperwork.

Albert, I just sent you a PM. Is that a coincidence? If not, that's pretty incredible.

I guess Albert is at home relaxing in front of the tv. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/grin.gif

An interesting thing about 6/27/1969. If my memory is correct, my parents got married on Saturday, June 14, 1969. This means, my engine block was stamped on a Friday. Could explain the lack of VIN stamp. I'm fairly positive it's never been decked and is not a restamp. Obviously not certain, but could explain things. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/dunno.gif

If my grandfather were still with us, I could ask him what the heck they were doing in the plant on a Friday. I'm sure he'd have some wisecrack about that. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/beers.gif

could it be stamped on the side by the oil filter?

The L78 will run as good as your 427 IMO. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ins/3gears.gif
