NOS GM 350 Short Block

Andy Friar · 07-12-2022, 09:41 PM

Tonight we picked up the starting point for our 70 350 LT1 S/S engine. A NOS late 70’s GM Short Block, pn 14019872. We are excited. The family friend of ours has another one of these and a NOS Aluminum ZL1 block too. We are going to drop this into our 69 Chevelle 300 and run GT/HA. One of the neat parts about living in Michigan is so many cool muscle parts keep turning up.

Before you carve it up, I would check with the collecting world. That piece
might be worth some serious money, and then you could buy current
parts that may or may not be better suited for what you want to do.

A lot of parts went out the back door at Tonawanda.

A good friend went to General Motors Institute in the late 60s. It was an engineering college where you also switched from classroom to a GM facility throughout the year.

One of his fraternity brothers did his co-op at Tonawanda. He was a legend since he managed to take home all the pieces for an L88 other than the crank by other than official procedures.

Yes, I did hear the explanation for how he managed the heads but after all these years I can't remember.
