Default Did I buy a l99?
So I bought a fire engine from a guy and he told me it was a 5.7, after I get the thing home and do some scraping by the cast numbers, I think I might have got screwed.



I know the pic is a little blurry but it was the best I could do, anyone got any advice?

Even though it isn't a 5.7L, it will still hurt pretty bad when you hit him upside the head with it.

Yeah, it was from a caprice that was originally a 350. Both of us were kinda embarrassed for not bothering to check, I'm getting my money back.

I can't post in the parts wanted section, so I'm asking in here if anyone has a lt1 for sale ><

Where are you located? Shipping is expensive on a block. CL usually also has a few on there.
