Default Re: 68 SS 396 CAMARO MAYBE A MOTION CAR

The car also has power disc brakes on the front. Manual sterring. It has a push button start (Also has the Key) on the dash with guages were the heater controls would be. Above these gages are 2 switches that were drilled into the metal dash. I also noticed that all of the cast flashings on the block & heads have been ground off. It may just be a street - strip car that Motion worked on ? I will pull the tank after the holidays maybe I will get lucky. I will keep digging. You never know.

A replacement block yes.
But I am just curious as to what year exactly,besides the casting date.
The numbers following the "CE" code will dictate that,but there is a letter/number missing there maybe.
l.i.man can you recheck?

The heads are dated to go with the car so it might just be a warranty replacement short block and the original heads/intake/carb went back on it. It seems unlikely it's a Baldwin/Motion car due to being built at the VN plant, but it could be a Motion modified car. Sounds like it has some interesting history it's not telling.
