Looking to verify that a non posi. 3.07 12 bolt was available to order on a 1968 Z28.

 Yes? No?

Decoding/Numbers / 68Z28 #'s

« on: April 19, 2017, 06:13:15 PM »

A friend of mine is somewhat interested in this 68Z on ebay, and has asked for me for some input.

http://www.ebay.com/itm/1968-Chevrolet-Camaro-Z28-RS-4-Speed-Numbers-Matching-302-V8-Very-Rare-/332184613242?hash=item4d57bef17a:g:K2IAAOSwhQhYzFlh&vxp=mtr

I'm looking for opinions in the deck stampings on the engine.
There is, obviously, a discrepancy in the assembly date on the pad - Nov. 29 (11/29/67), and the casting date on the block - Dec.22 (L 22 7).
The pad numbers don't really look fake to me, but I'm not an expert on pad stampings.

The heads are dated Sept.15 (I 15 7)
Intake - Oct. 4 (10 4 67)
Trans - Dec. 5 (T 05)

Everything seems to line up with a 12B car, except the block casting.

Is it possible, or is there any noted instance of, a block date being mis-cast. so to speak? Doesn't seem like it would be hard to mistake an "L" for an "I".
