Rellim, also take note of the numeral 7 on Allan's post. On the small block
engines, you will find numerals, on big blocks, you will find letters, A,B,C, etc.
The vin #'s will be in the same place on the pad as shown above on both.
If you come across any D,H or F's let me know....

Yes sir. The big block exotics. W-30 heads.
The E heads are correct for your 70 442.
Ted you need the H's, I'll take the D's.

I'm no expert but my 1st thought was that this car can be saved. Floors look OK, body panels not crushed or seriously rotted. It's a buckets/console car with a cool color combo and good title. I like Rellim51's idea of getting it rolling and cleaning it up to sell. If you can get it running, you'd be in business.
Good luck with it!

Small update: I haven't had much time to mess with the car lately but we had good weather today so this afternoon I drove over to where the car is and was able to get all the drum brakes turning and I was able to get the steering column unlocked. I also picked up the wheels and took them back to my shop to air them up and fix any leaks. It's almost ready to move! I just have to put the wheels back on and get it back on the ground.
The best part is I got the title today! Last titled in 1984.
