I recently purchased a 1969 Camaro that has an original block for a 1967 Impala SS427. Block code is 1129IJR, vin looks like a
N122053. If this is your original block, it is now found.

At this point I would not consider selling it unless the person with the matching VIN car needed it. That could change down the road as it is currently in a 69 COPO Camaro. I may decide to put a correct block in that someday.

I got a better look at the VIN stamp - updating the number to N122083

Do you have a picture of the engine pad? The engine is actually out of a 66 Impala. The carburetor designation (the R in IJR) was only used in 1966. Additionally, the N is Norwood assembly, which stopped producing fullsize cars after 1966.

Thanks for posting the pic. Didn't have this car in our database but I added it in case the car surfaces.

OK guys, more info on this block. I got a good look at the casting number and the casting date on the block. Casting number is 3869942 and the cast date is J205. So it turns out its a 1966 model year engine. Is there a good site for 66's that I can post this info on?

I could not find the block casting.....on the back of the block HI PERF is cast on the passenger side. There is also a date cast toward the front of the block, October of 1966 if I interpret it correctly
