302 Z-28 engine only

[randy wilson]

I may have a barn find. Says 302 on the air cleaner that was left on the engine after they robbed the carburetor. The intake is correct, and looks legit. Need to get inside of it, and take a peek. What’s one worth if I completely rebuild it to exact specs?

If you can find the Z28 that it came out of, it'll be worth big bucks.
Other than that, if it's a 69, it's an 010 block with a 3" stroke crank and decent heads. JMO

Will do. The thing is I run a small construction company, and one of my workers found this in his deceased granpa’s barn, and I want to get it to the shop and make sure it’s real. May be a bit. His grandpa bought the car new, and they had it crushed several years ago. I know. Sad deal. It started with him telling me on the way home the other day that he never knew Chevy made a 302. We started talking, and he said I power washed it and took pictures. And sure enough, it looks legit. He’s bringing it down when we get caught up.

Depends on which year. The casting numbers on the block, heads and intake will tell a lot. The '67 is the rarest; 602 were built. and complete engines were not offered through the parts network.

It came out of a 69. I’ll look up the numbers when I get it down here.

Randy,before you do anything, call Jerry and talk with him regarding the stamp pad on the block.
He'll tell you what the code is for the 69 Z28 engine,and most importantly,what not to do to when cleaning it up to see it clearly.

Will do. I promise. I’ve never actually been inside an original one.

Randy… Does it have oil filler tube or not? Does it have bolt hole heads or not? Finned valve covers or stamped steel? MB

I know it has finned valve covers, I’ll look closer at the pictures tomorrow when he comes in. I do know it has straight plug heads. I spotted that.
