New Yenko Owner needing some help!

A point just in your original post has me thinking. Mark claimed that Dave put together a 377 -- if I still remember my SBC days, that would be a 400 block with a 350 crank (or there abouts). Your post indicates the block is original to the car -- if that is so, I'm wondering if it is in fact a 383 using the original block. I will try and contact Dave Kohler and see if he remembers what he built. We all have slept since then -- LOL Craig

I only picked up on the possible originality of the "engine", as opposed to the block, from the comment of Marlin Spotts in March 2015. Honestly, I have no idea if the block is the original, has or has not been repaired/welded or is a replacement. The block casting appears to be casting # 3970010 and there is an additional entry in some of the records referring to 010-V0414-CRE. I'm not sure what this means--help!

Another baffler: There is a note in the records that states, verbatim: Rear--3:55--GM--Believed to be 1 of 3 original.

Opinions?

Without a window sticker, build sheet, broadcast sheet, or something similar, is it at all possible to find out how my car came originally equipped?
