Hi all,
I've got a bit of a mystery that I hope someone can give me some insight on. My '72 200 HP base model coupe has engine cast number 3932386 which belongs to a '69 300 or 350 HP engine. To make matters more interesting, there is no engine code or partial VIN stamped on the engine pad. The previous owner told me that as far as he knew, the motor was original, but had been rebuilt.
Having the block decked would account for the missing stamp, but not the cast number. Is it possible the engine was swapped and I have a '69 300 HP base or a 350 HP L46? Maybe even a mythical '69 LT1?
Yeah, wishful thinking on that one. Anyone have any ideas how to get some answers?
