He tells me the car has less than 35,000 miles on it, and by the smell of the stale gas, it hasn"t been driven in quite some time. It is in awesome shape, and I have the chance to pick it up really right. The chrome, leather, and paint are all quite nice. He also indicated that every month he turned the V-12 over religiously to keep it loose and lubed. Lou might be able to give you some former owner info. I doubt GM would put a 302 in it, but you never know. That sort of thing usually happens when something goes wrong with the original engine and they don"t have they expertise or money to fix it, or when they are just plain mad (perhaps that"s the case with your car). In any case, I"m glad it is being picked up by someone in a unique position to restore it - if you aren"t sure about what goes where, you just need to look at your other car! Wonder how the 302 made out with a 4.3 diff ratio.....? Bill #6576
