    It's very easy to use the L26 bottom end and many times they were cheaper or easier to source.

    I'm pretty sure the only way to tell is to open it up and look at the connecting rods because those are different than the L36. Otherwise if they swapped over all the other parts it's going to look exactly the same as a L36. GM didn't make the block any different for the series 3 engines.

    Alright cool, so chances are the guy is being straight up. I'm not a fan of the intake setup the guy used, it's a 4inch cone slapped right on the tb. Good thing I got spare intakes laying around. Here's some pics of it Incase anyone wants to see this rusty old car, I was super happy to see clean strut towers and even new struts and mounts. For 400 bucks I'm stoked.
