C3 427 Big Block! Numbers MATCHING? 4speed Let's FIND OUT!  

Gunmetal not offered with Red 1st off. And yes paint is yuck. Cool that it’s a 66 BB. Motor is worth a lot. Cool tip on the back of block. On the 69’s vin number on front pass engine block. Plus the rear driver. I’m gonna go watch pt 2. Not a 68 expert but I’m learning all the c-3 little stuff! This is great

1:04 - No, we can't see those numbers. Why don't you read them off? You could have moved the camera where you can see the numbers on it. 3855961 could be a 396 or a 427 block. It was not exclusive to Corvette, so you still have no idea what it is. There is a pad up front by the water pump that does tell, though. All C2 and C3 Corvettes prior to 1978 had a 160 mph speedometer and 7000 RPM tach. The important part was the redline, and it looks like this one is 5600 RPM. The Rally wheels are probably Monte Carlo wheels as they have the Monte trim rings and they are plentiful in 15x7 inch. the original '68 15x7 are not plentiful, and are slightly different on offset. Using a Black Book at the verification is lame. It is a good source, but only a minor reference. The AC compressor is later and has been replaced. The Mickey Thompson/Cal custom valve covers are valuable, so don't toss them. You missed the missing fan shroud. The P01 Bright Wheel Covers were a $58 option and less than a third of the cars got those. You didn't show anything underneath. Rear sway bar. Differential U-Joint caps. Transmission number.
