Default Would like opinions on an L-88 engine on ebay

Hey guys!

I found this gem on ebay and would like some input from the
group.

It's touted to be an original 1968 L-88 engine ( never apart )
that got separated from the Corvette it came in.
What I'm not sure of is the intake. Would Feb. 68 build
have a '198 intake? Anyone ever seen one that early before?

I believe the distributor is non-Corvette, unless L-88's
used a different one than all other Corvettes.

The '842 heads have the temp sending unit bosses drilled &
tapped. There is a temp sending unit on the drivers
side head. Wasn't that a '69 provision? I know some
early '842 heads were cast with the temp sending unit boss,
but this one is drilled & tapped.

Here is the link:
