Kind of sounds like my '63 thats been sitting for 30 plus years in a garage. Wonder if there is a way to see what those barns vettes sell for.

More engine pad info Tried to get more of the engine pad stamp and it may be this: 3106456 FI23IRE The RE are not conclusive, nor is the letter just before the RE. I tried scrubbing like crazy with a toothbrush and WD40 and an engine degreaser. Afraid to scrap with anything metal because I...

Engine block code Yea, I guess the F just means Flint where it was made. There is a good deal of rust etc on the pad and it does look like there may be a "2" after the FI so maybe the FI is really a F12...... I will have to go back an dig deeper to try to clean the pad and get the other...

Evo - Thanks for the input. Good points for sure. I've thought about that aspect of it for sure and once I figure more out it may come to that but the car has been ion my wife's family since the early 70's I believe so it would be kind of neat to see it run again.

Engine block stamp Was able to get the engine block stamp; 3106456 FI Matches the VIN but was expecting to see RE. I assume FI is Fuel Injection (327 CID/360 hp) but the intake manifold on the car and as a spare (see very first post) sure don't look ready for fuel injection. Obviously the...

Hi Tom, yea, sorry about that. If you want, you can delete that other thread, or I can. Did not mean to cause confusion.

Thanks very much. I will do that. I am going back to the car tonight to see if i can see numbers.

I am going to have to go look again. But what does "decked" mean? Never heard of that.

Engine code So I looked for the engine code. Either looked in the wrong spot or have my doubts it is there. Here is a photo of where I thought it would be. Maybe I just need to clean the flat surface off to see what is there. In the photo shouldn't the numbers be on that flat surface where the...

Got some Trim info Truth be told, my history with it is very complicated and only for the knowledge that it has been sitting in my wife's fathers garage since the early 80's. It kind of came with the wife, who bought it from her Uncle. I have no documentation, other than old registration forms...

Oh, I am sure it won't be easy. But, if I can find someone to do it, I am willing to part with some good money do do it. Thanks to everyone who is writing in. I appreciate it as I am VERY new to this game.

Yea, I realize that and am actually willing to put a good chunk of change into it. Just trying to get an idea about it being 15K or 30k or more. I also will try to get the block number and trim info next time I see it. No interest in making it a show queen. Want to be able to drive it a bit here...

Another engine photo Here is a more closeup photo of the engine block that is in the car now.

My gosh, never heard of a restomod. That must be EXPENSIVE. What would be ballpark? ANy ideas?

Bummer. Wish I had known about that. Well, here is a picture of the other intake manifold I have. Maybe it is the original that came with the car.

Thanks again There is another intake manifold I have. Not a lot of documentation on the car. I will be trying to find out from the guy we got it from what else he did, other than putting the side exhaust pipes on. Really no idea if all the numbers match but will try to find out. Thanks for all...

Thanks Thanks for getting back. I have reached out to NCRS and hope to hear back. I wish I could do it myself but no time. Hope someone else can. Thanks again.

I have a 63 split rear window that has been sitting in the garage in a state of disrepair for about 30 years. I love the potential the car has and have many of the original parts (shifter, radio, clock). I have no idea how much work it will take but I know I can't do it myself. Need to find...
