Re: Numbers Guys!! Is This a REAL 67 Z28 302 ngine
MP code is for a 302/290 4-speed A.I.R. only. The 283 Camaro used the MD/MJ coded block.

Cool T-bucket...I love those rear wheels!.
The stamping looks good and that Los Vin corresponds to a May built car.. Is '67 Z28 Vin 124377L158053 out there somewhere?. Welcome aboard James!. [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/beers.gif[/img] ~ Pete

Re: Numbers Guys!! Is This a REAL 67 Z28 302 ngine
I just learned from the a similar thread over at the Team Camaro website that the engine is a real one of only 602 Z28 engines made for 1967 and one of only a handful of "MP" A.I.R. California Emissions (smog pump) engines bult.
http://www.camaros.net/forums/showthread.php?t=178858 They also determined that the original 1967 Z28 that came with this engine has in fact survived and is an original Los Angeles built, original paint red RS Z28 that is missing its engine. The car was built in early May of 1967 and this engine was cast on March 10, 1967 and built on March 21, 1967 so all of the dates line up as well. They are trying to contact the owner of the car now to see if he has any interest in the original numbers matching 302 engine from his car.

That would be pretty cool - an original paint red 67 RS-Z28 finding it's born with engine. Gotta love the internet.

UPDATE: I spoke with the owner of the 67 Z28 and he and I have worked out a deal that's fair to both of us and the engine is going to be pulled and shipped back to the owner to be reinstalled back in the car it belongs in!!

COOL news!.
How far apart had they strayed from each other and is there any story known of why they got separated in the first place?. [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/beers.gif[/img] ~ Pete
