69 Camaro 302 convert?

[Supergas990]

Motown,

I'm certainly not the #'s expert on this board, but everything he provided points to a 250hp 350 Camaro.

1. True the block is rare and was use in two documented Z/28's (i.e. as a 302) and at least 4 documented 350 "SS" cars. According to the books the casting dates on those cars ranged from L 20 8 to C 11 9.

Otherwise, it was generally used in passenger applications. It is considered to be fairly rare in Camaro applications and is in fact a four bolt main.

The HC code is clearly a 250hp 350 code, as the DZ code was used for the 302.

2. The head casting number 3932441 is a 350 head only, with applications for 250hp and 255hp engines.

3. The distributor number 1114869??? Should it be 111486? Is listed as being used in 350/250hp S/T.

Sounds to me like a 350/250hp S/T Camaro convertible.

I'm sure that others can provide more, but I hope this helps. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/scholar.gif[/img]

I corresponded with him before he listed it on ebay. Told him what it was (L65 w/ manual trans). It is unique in that it's a 3 speed and has a 12 bolt.
He totally misrepresents it and cannot correctly interpret what people tell him in emails and books. Look at his feedback too.

The 388 block is not rare. It was used as much or more than the 386 block and it can be 2 or 4 bolt. Alan is supposed to be updating that note in his book (which has caused a lot of confusion).

Its one of those ultra rare rochester carbed 302's, with the super rare pre 68 painted valve covers. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbsdown.gif[/img]

Kurt, I have spoken to this guy in the past. Geez to think this guy lives only 20 miles away. I think the saying "if he had half a brain he would be dangerous" fits. He ignores or chooses to ignore all facts and logic. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif[/img]
