Ross had the engine until the mid-90s; while he was talking to someone at a cruise-in he mentioned he had the engine, complete. Ross at that time lived in Addison, IL.
The engine was probably sold with the Camaro Muncie 4spd that my Dad had put in the GP.
The 3spd top-loader (the GP's original trans) might also have been included in the sale.
Any leads would be appreicated. I do have the VIN for confirmation, but I figured just finding another WL block (142 built) would be enough!
You may want to ask around at the First Gen Firebird website, if you haven't already ... http://firstgenfirebird.org/forums/ubbthreads.php
