I have a front clip with motor for a Camaro I got from a friend about 15 years ago. I know what you are thinking what does this have to do with a Marauder; anyway I was going to put the motor in a 1978 Z28 I purchased to run at IRP on Tuesday nights. In the process of rebuilding the motor some thing looked out of place, like dome pistons, two bolt mains and a small crank. I ran the numbers to find out what this was; it turns out to be 1968 Z28 302/290hp (block, heads, intake ect). I think I will sale the motor to someone who is restoring 1968 Z28 and build up the 350 I have setting in the barn.

wow cool, wonder if someone is looking for that engine. Did it come with a full front clip or could the rest of the car be looking for that matching number engine somewhere?

Early 302's were 2 bolts, later ( 69 ) were 4.
