It's a 6 via the VIN. Big block heater box and SS gas cap were added.

It's definitely odd and something has changed.
But 123377N100001 still works for a Google search.

Welcome Mitch. There are several ways to accomplish what you want to do. Depends on what you want in the end. On the interior, blasting can work but could also seriously compromise what good metal is left. You might want to experiment with Evaporust and using a wire wheel. Then topcoat with a good primer.

Cool, yes post pics when you can.
Probably some people out there running the cross ram setup. It was available over the counter but never on a car from the assembly plant/factory.
Dual carb setups can be temperamental, hard to tune for both efficiency and performance. And honestly, for a little 302, way too much carb unless you will be consistently running between 4000 and 8000 RPMs.

General Discussion / Re: Originality?
« on: October 15, 2016, 04:23:56 PM »So, forgive me if I'm speaking about something addressed before. I am relatively new to the life of actually owning a Camaro, although been hooked ever since I was 5 when my aunt would take me cruising at night in her 68 while she babysat me. As I am working on my car (and although not very educated, loving every minute of it), when I take something apart on the car to clean it, or replace/repair it, I want to put it back together as accurately as possible as a tribute to originality. That's just what I appreciate and like to see. Not really into drastic mods.
Has there ever been thought to putting together an archive of just photos, maybe verified by a few select highly educated and respected individuals on this site, that show original color schemes, bolts, designs, patterns, markings, etc? Or is it just simpler to search through the multiple strings that have been collected over the years of this site to find those images and discussion points? I bought all the books I was recommended too from an earlier post, great reading and highly educational, but many have either B/W photos or drawings, so discerning color and detail is challenging.
I've seen the section on here of original cars and I have gone through every post, but still wish they were more in depth in the images or maybe just all in one place. Maybe I'm just that newbie hungry for information, IDK. Anyway, thanks for the information and would appreciate thoughts about this. Heck, it just may be logistically impossible due to the amount of deviations and storage it'd take for all those photos, anyway just thinking. Thanks.
Your request would be a huge task. Best thing to do is take pics of what you have BEFORE you take it apart in case you have questions when you put it back together. And of course search through the thousands of threads posted over the years by using the Search feature. Ask questions if you run into problems.

Originality / Re: AMA passenger car specificatins - 1969 z28 "Locked in rod" piston pins
« on: October 15, 2016, 07:23:10 AM »
They were full floating pins starting about July of 68 (very late 68 model year) and for the entire 69 model year. The AMA document is not correct. End of story.
I have seen the inside of enough 302s to know, and have talked to numerous machinists over the years - most who have now been retired 5-10 years.
But believe what you want.

Just to be clear. A prototype is not a production vehicle. Pilot cars are different, not prototypes.

Correct. A prototype would not get a VIN.

Scott has told you reality.
If you can do most of the "fixing" - plus body work and paint yourself (or with help from friends) then you MIGHT be into it reasonably with the result being a decent driver. But it would take ALOT of work.
