1967 Z-28 Parts Wanted

[Salvatore]

Rob, You are correct. They were tufftrided. Most off that wears off in time. I never really saw a 302 or LT1 crank where that really mattered. I believe that the 1967 302 crank is a circle with a V cut into it. Anyhow it would all work. There are a couple cranks on e-bay and also I think there is a harmonic balancer available where the key way does line up with the timing mark. The block can be a 4 in bore job with small journals, or you can buy bearing spacers if a small journal is not available. To me the internal parts arn't as important to a resto. as the bolt on parts, as long as it is a REAL 302 with the correct compression. I was hard pressed to get 30 over pistons for my 1969 Z. We had to fly cut a set of TRW 12:1's. There are manufactures out there: Venolia, C+P etc, but are around $800.00 a set. (forged) Correct #'s and date carb, intake, distributor,heads, pulleys, fan, valve covers, correct heads on the intake bolts correct coil etc. is what I try to get first. Correctly dated block is important to me also. Cams, rods,whatever crank I can get 1967 Z original first choice if it is good and reasonable, or I could live with a nicely preped 283 crank. Just my opinion. Sam [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggthumpup.gif[/img]
