« on: September 26, 2023, 09:37:39 PM »

Does anyone have an original car with either head usage?

041 heads on a Z28.

186 heads on an L48 - SS 350.

Thanks all for your responses.  A couple of things... the heater core is definitely for a big block (heater hoses on left side looking at the firewall from front of car).  The holes for the exhaust mount are there as verified by a guy I met at a car show who is a 1st gen Camaro guru.  Another friend of mine looked up the axle number and verified it is correct... it was manufactured about a week before the car was assembled according to the date stamp on both the axle and the body trim tag.  Also, in my opinion, the last owner, who had the car for 28 years, didn't make it a clone.  In fact, he took off the original SS hood and sold it as he needed the current cowl hood in order to clear the high rise Edelbrock manifold he put on.  If he were trying to clone an SS, he would have kept the SS hood.

What’s the axle code?

B-that’s not my car…did you more/better pictures?

The pics shown are fine. Who gets photo credit if I use any of the pics?

That shows the partial casting number externally and verifies another one used for Camaros.

So your head casting number ends in 7763 ?

Then the full number would be 3927763.

Michelle,

What is the information stamped on the front edge of the passenger side axle tube? What’s the assembly month and week from the body tag?

I don't think anyone meant to offend you. 

Let us know how it goes.

I can take a look at the engine casting report. It might be an error in your casting number.

I think it would be difficult to accomplish.

Thank you David.

Is there anyone else you know with an original L6 that might have a different casting number?

Even today the data does not support my idea of cars being built "very early in the model year".   So I was wrong, at least from what we know at this point.

The car listed in the post immediately above this is a late car, but seems to be legitimate with the documentation.

Anybody want to contribute some head data on their L6 engine?
