Default Ram air III WS block found seeing if the car survives

I recently picked up a WS block date code E200. VIN on the block is 20L10972X. Can't read the last number. It's standard bore and been in a storage container for years. Tossing this out there to see if the original car survives.

nice - I hope the car shows up.

too bad there isn't some way to search for the car, since there's twenty possible vins;

226870L109720 <-> 226870L109729
and
228870L109720 <-> 228870L109729

oh yeah!

I keep forgetting that PHS, along with all the older (pre1985?) files are privately owned!

You can also wish in one hand and you know what with the other. Hehe.
Hope it finds a good home.

Engine for sale?

If so then please post it in the classifieds with an asking price.

Thanks.

I don't think it is... unless the original car it belongs in shows up.

I can see a historical Samaritan potential in reuniting VIN blocks with historical cars. Since no sale price (only to car owner OK) is shown, we don't know if this would be a "brother" deal on passing it on........... so it is hard to judge a thread like this. So kind of in a netherworld and I see how a moderator might comment. Just defending PY and their efforts.

The threads that kind of are veiled sale ads that crack me up are the "Hey y'all, what do you think a numbers SD carb is worth, I found one at a swap meet" followed by 6 or 8 "PM Sent" response posts..... then the thread dies

Default Ram air III WS block found seeing if the car survives

Obviously if the car survives it would be available for sale to the owner of said car. If no one steps forward, given it's standard bore it will most likely be the one I use in a formula I have. I just figured I would see if the car still survives or not and let that person have the option of reuniting the pair, or maybe they want to sell the car. Being I found the motor in Southern California I was hoping the car might be close to me

I applaud you for making this effort.
Pretty clear to me, too, that it wasn't a classified ad.
