1969 black on black ss 396

Was wondering is there any way to make the numbers on the block stand out any better other then a magnifying glass. The motor in this car has the numbers stamped down by the oil filter and there next to impossible to read.

Finally got the nerve up to repair one of the fenders cant afford NOS fenders so I found a set the needed work and used the patches from my wrecked fenders. Turned out decent for my first time doing something like this!

Well I was told from the gentlemen I got this car from that it was an original L78 car. But he had no documentation. Went out this morning and the front pulleys on the motor have these part numbers stamped in them. According to a document I found on the net these part numbers where used on the l78/l89 big blocks. I took some pics but with my phone and u cant make out the numbers, so im gonna dig out my camera and get some better ones. I know it doesnt mean much there just pulleys but still got me pumped up. Im gonna pull the(6000)tach out of the dash to see if its original or reproduction. The cars been restored once by the lions club but im gonna pull the seats out just to check for buildsheet. Any specifics on fremont cars about where they put the build sheets?
Crank pulley number 3955291
Water pump pulley 3947824
Power steering pulley 3941105 (damaged)

According to this write up you will find the build sheet in the trash can on the assembly line.

I have looked casually through my 1969 Fremont Chevelle but haven't found one. I do remember a write up explaining Fremont build sheets to be very rarely found. (that was by memory, probably should stick with facts) I had a quick look on TeamChevelle but didn't find the article.....

Mike,

I would pull out that complete interior and look for it. If you do find the Build Sheet, email me a good picture of it....I`m very familiar with Fremont Built L78`s.

Best of Luck!

Hi Dan,

Where have you found build sheets other than inside the lower half of the back seat?

I might go snooping in my car as well.

Best of luck Mike, thanks for saving that 69.

I think yours is sitting a little low..........
