Decoding/Numbers / 1968 LOS 04D L30M20 POP Error?
« on: May 29, 2021, 10:06:08 PM »
We've had our 68 Camaro for more than 10 years now and when we purchased it it was being represented to us as a L30M20. I do believe it to be an original L30m20 and the POP mostly supports this except for the transmission code. The issue is that the POP indicates the transmission type as "S" Saginaw 3 speed. I've read about POP's containing error's and am interested to know what CRG members thoughts are on this particular car.

Yes, thanks Joe. That’s one of the items on the list to change. I did find a nicely dated 67 trunk lid that hasn’t been drilled for a spoiler.
I’d imagine that the challenge will be matching the paint.

Thanks very much for your perspectives. I will thoroughly consider what you’re saying.
“Why does it matter?”
Only because my intent is to “restore” the cars 1967 identity following the recommendations in the CHP report. The engine is one of a few 1968 items that previous ownership incorporated into their build while omitting some 1967 details.
The car received a 68 MO block, Wide Tread GT’s and rear spoiler. Omitted were pinstripes and RS lower trim.
The 68 influence is a good and very popular look, I just prefer the factory details for this car.
The photo is current with RS trim installed now.
As for the engine, I do like that it is a 68 MO but it’s the differences that I want to consider. Internally the 68 is probably a better engine, externally they are not quite the same. The thing that interests me about a blank pad is just that.....no vin on it. Of course, a reasonably dated 67 MO would also be of great interest but I know that they rarely become available.
In the short term, I’ll continue to work my way through the Page 2 items of the CHP report while considering options for the engine.

The block has been assembled as a "custom built" 302 long block. The pan is installed so I could only get pics of the oil filter and started mounting surfaces. Plenty of paint so not much to see although there are a few characters at the starter location.
I'm still considering this engine and would appreciate opinions on whether or not an E177 casting dated blank pad block, if factory assembled as a warranty engine, could have found its way into a 1967 06E car.
I'm also interested to know how relevant a stamped assembly date on a warranty block is since couldn't the engines have been assembled either before or after a car's build date?

Here are a few more photos.
I purchased the 5679142 manual box assembled B1527 for my 06E NOR car.
The second photo shows the 5679142 manual box on a survivor 03C NOR car with what appears to be a casting date of 6 and assembly date of B49_.
Note the difference in the lids. The box assembled on B1527 has an abbreviated casting number and includes a casting date.
At some point in this time period it appears that the lids changed.
The 3rd photo shows, what I believe to be, the original box in my 01D LOS car. It's the 5696084 box with 4 mounting ears.

1967 Z28 original ad from Dec 4, 1966 (camaros.org)
I opened this post with considerable interest only to find that the Tiny Pics attachment was no longer available.
I'm wondering if anyone has saved it and would be willing to post it again.
thank you
