My dad has a 1969 Z28 that originally was a DZ302 car. The original owner blew the 302 up and replaced it with a 350 out of a 69 RS/SS. Ive tracked down what the owner believes to be a 69 z28 302 motor but he doesnt seem like he knows a whole hell of alot about it.

Attached is the only picture I have of the engine. I called the owner and he said the only number he could find stamped in the block was a VI02WH. However I cannot find anything about that number. I believe it may be a V102WH but it seems like its missing some other numbers. I cant actually put my hand on the motor as its in another state. I was under the impression a true DZ block would have a VXXXXDZ stamped in it where the XXXX is the 4 digit numerical date code. Any help?

The WH suffix is 1969 350cuin 255hp block if it has 4 bolt main caps, WH with 2 bolt caps is a earlier year 283 or 307

If you dont find the DZ code on the pad, Id be leary. Of course there are other circumstances such as service replacement blocks but form what Ive seen DZ is the suffix.

Rich is right about the DZ on the 69 block.
I think the 67-8 motors had MO on the pad. Plenty of info here. http://www.camaros.org/
