Title: correct engine manifold and air cleaner for 1968 Camaro SS 350
Post by: Nigel on April 23, 2017, 04:45:58 PM: I have just purchased my first Camaro, a 1968 Camaro RS / SS, dash vin is 124378N443468. The previous owner had added various after market engine parts and I wish to return the engine to original factory spec.

The engine now has headers however I want to replace them with the original manifold which I believe is casting number 3919803. I have found a couple on Ebay however one has the oil fill tube and one does not. Is the oil fill tube original factory spec?

Please can you also confirm if the correct air cleaner for the car is an L48 single snorkel air cleaner?

Many thanks in advance, Nigel

To replace the headers you will need to install exhaust manifolds. I believe the correct castings for a 1968 Camaro 350 would be 3892679 and 3893608 without A.I.R. (smog equipment).

Post by: Nigel on April 25, 2017, 04:34:57 PM: Hi Russ, Please can you confirm those casting numbers are correct for a 1968 350ci manual car. I have found the following advert for manifolds however they give the casting numbers as 3892679 and 3840912.

I just want to make sure I am buying the correct manifolds,

Post by: bertfam on April 25, 2017, 08:47:07 PM: Your car came with a manual transmission so you should have a 3872730 (right) and a 3892683 (left), both with A.I.R.

Nigel,

The part number for the air cleaner housing you need is 6484221. It's the same one used for the L30 engine. The only difference I'm aware of is the lid is chrome on the L48.

Here's one that was recently sold on eBay...

Post by: 68L30 on April 27, 2017, 12:51:49 AM: The neat thing about the late 68 intakes is they actually have 1968 cast into them. This is my L-30 intake on my 0702EE build. It's a F288 Dated 3919803

Post by: Nigel on April 27, 2017, 09:39:18 AM: Hi Kolektor, are the 3919803 manifolds for sale? and if so are they in good condition or do they require repair. I am looking for a 3919803 manifold for my 68 Camaro ss 350. I am also looking for the two intake manifolds. Thanks Nigel
