I did not realize you did not have matching motor in the 63 z11 the first time you restored it. Do you know what that motor was in???
I built it from spare parts I had.I did not realize you did not have matching motor in the 63 z11 the first time you restored it. Do you know what that motor was in???
Yes, and behind the heater was a chalk marking “11”. Not Z-11 but 11.Did you remove the heater in the 63 so it would be correct as from factory z11?
Probably only a hand full of people in world have spare Z11 parts to build an engine.
So did you have all the delete plates ,if that's what they had. Had to be some rare items.Yes, and behind the heater was a chalk marking “11”. Not Z-11 but 11.

It’s great to have friends at the head of thePat has an interesting set of dated carbs that are a march for the Colbert build dates as well. I'll let him chime in on that.
I'm just happy we still live in a time where we can get some of the knowledge first hand on these cars. The supply of knowledge on these old girls is so helpful in decoding their history. Finding a head with a different casting code seems strange until we are able to get some first hand insight that a cracked head was found so a new head was installed. That is priceless information. I'd be more upset if the heads were matching on the engine now that I know that part. Super cool information Pat.It’s great to have friends at the head of the

Thank you. I do remember back in the “dark ages” (1984) when Frank Sanders called me looking for his car. He had heard I had some of his parts. It was a time when you kept copious notes with names, phone numbers, info, etc.I'm just happy we still live in a time where we can get some of the knowledge first hand on these cars.
