Says it's a Vette block for manual trans and Mortec says "fuelie" heads. Should be good one to have in the corner.

Smooth move putting the quick grab on that!

Nasty notes the RD suffix as a '62..

RD = 1962 327 m/t, high perf. 300/4 Vette

Is there a Vin on it too?.
If so it's worth a shot trying to find the car!.
