Shame someone didn’t buy it to put an original 69 396/375 car back to stock. But I hope the purchaser enjoys it.
You are only limited by your machinery and your imagination!

Re: BBC 396cid 375HP 4-Bolt Main Block 1969
he's going to get the Block further cleaned up back to looking perfect by another Shop ,
then decide whether to just lightly Hone it and keep it standard Bore or Bore +0.030" to 402cid ??
i told him i can Torque-Plate Hone the Block , or Bore it +0.030" for him
and can Deck and Square the Block if he wants ,
and if he gets another Shop to do it, and they want to Deck the Block,
make sure they leave the original Stamped ID on the Block, if they can't with their Machine ,
i can mill the Decks and leave the original Stamped ID portion on the Block alone , the Headgasket doesn't quite go that far .

That partial Vin is from a 1969 nova i believe. More than likely a take out engine that DH did a 427 swap on.Should post it up on yenko.net, someone would probably sell a kidney for it if it's their original block. Otherwise you did ok at 1500.
