Jack is out of town until tomorrow. I'm going to try and call him this afternoon to discuss how to make this right. He has a 70 TA, 70 Formula and a 67 GTO in his garage now so I'd say he knew the block wasn't the original #'s matching block. Hell, it may have taken me a few months but I never laid eyes under the hood of a Pontiac til this one showed up in my driveway and, I figured it out. The trans is not restamped. It's out of a 70 Grand Prix.
Did every SR block get stamped from the factory as such or could it have been a bare block? Is there a way to have it authenticated...Machine shop maybe? What is the fair market value of this car now? Mind you, it is NOT very original. Wrong block, trans, carb, distributor, starter, alternator, even the air cleaner is a SR; it's not an original 70 air cleaner. I'm thinking $9-10K if it's a restamp, $12-13 if it's a legit YZ SR block. But how do I know it's an SR for a YZ block? Even if it has 4 bolt mains they could have been added during the rebuild
When I get back to the house I'll start tearing this thing down. I want to get in there and make sure the VIN on the body is correct as well
