In 1970 the L-65 was rated at 250 hp, 1969 was 255

Nope. In 69, the L65 was 250 hp. The LM1 was 255.

OK,
The engine code/Suffix looks like
V0319CRE, which is according to www.chevy-camaro.com
is a 350/300 horse car, but it also shows a 4 barrel application for that code.
Here is what is unusual, it is a 2 barrel air cleaner, and I am sure that it had a 350/300hp sticker on it? I guess the only rational explanation is that the intake was changed sometime in the past?

Where were the build sheets in Monte Carlo's (if they are regularly found?)

I've found them in the springs under the front bucket seat as well as behind the seat back "shell" of the bucket seat.
(I know your's is a bench, maybe in the springs under the bench seat too)
But I've almost always found them in the springs of the bottom half of the rear seat.

No VIN on the pad and it is to dark to get under the car and look by the oil filter tonight (to make sure that it is a matching numbers engine). The intake has a casting number of 8288752, but I do not know where to look for the date code. I have attached a pic of the intake/carb.

Isn't the engine code on the POP?

I don't know squat about the monte's. I just think they look better than the chevelle's (alright, all you chevelle guys don't start sendimg me hate PM's!). My mechanic has a 70 monte with a 402, 12 bolt, buckets and a shifter and it is cooool.
Anyways, here is the trim tag info:

ST 70 13857 FL 2199313 BDY
TR 767 25 A PNT
03D

The 03D I get as 4th week in March, but that and the body number and paint is as far as I can tell.

Whoops, just realized you said POP and not TT:
Here is an attached pic of the POP and typed out:

138570F131237 R
V0319CRE CCH0112B 3
VOC18N 1 3 3 ?
A. WILSON 5/28/70
(ADDRESS DELETED BY ME)
COLO. SPG. COLO


So, any ideas guys?

Also, anywhere that I can decode that intake (casting 8288752)
