Not awkward at all mate, I get this question a lot actually. It came from the factory as a 396 SS. Sadly what caused the fire that burnt it to the ground was the original engine. That block in long gone. Had I known what I know now, I think I would have persuaded my father to keep that block. Even in the condition it was in, the matching numbers would have made my car worth a hell of a lot more then it is now.
We pulled the 350 out of his 69 Camaro and sold the Camaro to a friend who already had an engine waiting for it. That was fun until about last year when we ordered a 496 from ATK.
