Restoration / Re: CORRECT UNDER BODY COLOR

Dave, I just saw a nice clear picture posted somewhere recently. I think the post was for shifter mounting or the shift rods, anyway the background was the tunnel that was just as you described. I also have a 5A Z and you described the underside of my car as well. I am just getting ready to send it out for some fresh paint and really did not want to do the 30% black. I'll try and post the picture if I can find it or take one from my car. If some pictures show up, I'd sure like to hear from anyone that would know how to duplicate it.

Found it.

Thanks for the correct information John, I used to know that.    So much for the cheap crankshaft...

Good luck on your purchase, now the fun begins.

I think 67 and 68 302's used the small journal crank, 69 is the only year of the large journal. If your current block is a small journal block, find a 283 crank and a set of pistons and your back in business. I was told long ago that all 283 cranks were forged and I have never seen a cast one. Back in the old days you could pick up an extra 25 cu in. pretty quick and many did.

I think there are 32,000 Z-28's still on the road.
