Recently picked up a ' 69 Chevelle SS in excellent condition inside and out
.The motor is from a '72 Chevelle as best I can tell from the number on the
engine block ( made on March 20 at the Tonawanda plant ). Would like to find
out what would be involved to locate the correct date code 396 engine . I plan
on keeping the car for a very long time due to waiting 36 years to get one .My
neighbor / "big brother " bought one back in May of ' 69 and I fell in love
with it then . I would say it was worth the wait to finally get my own . I'm
also a lucky guy because my wife also shares the same passion for that car.
