Not sure you guys know this but to reply to Bernies statement that the tie goes to the runner....  "Little league" baseball rules state that there is no such thing as a tie...   The runner is either safe or out...

The link doesn't explain all of the numbers that are pictured. Any HELP would be appreciated.  Esp. in regards to authenticating the build date of the rims pictured.

Thanks,

Restoration / 68 Floor Pan Tunnel Reinforcement Plate for Hard Top

« on: March 03, 2012, 01:57:42 PM »

Hi guys...  thought I would check here to see if anyone can give me some info. on the Floor Pan Tunnel Reinforcement plate that goes under the shift tunnel?   Mine was partially cut away and I'm wondering what it's function was?  Do the studs come up through the tunnel to connect the shift plate etc. for the console?  If so are there specs or info. on how and where to find, or duplicate this reinforcement plate?   

Thanks a bunch,

Dan

Got the engine and it has been rebuilt .30 over and has new pistons crank turned everything redone.  Amazing.   I am now looking to find a 7801149 may-early june smog setup as well as the closed element air cleaner.  If anyone has any leads in this direction it would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Dan

Kurt,

I spoke with Mark last night and even though he sold and delivered the engine this past September he doesn't have any record of who he sold it to.  Believe me I was hoping he might even have a name of the town that is between NJ and Carlisle..   I would try my hand at being a detective...   I'm hoping whoever bought it off of Mark is a member of this site or a member might know someone who bought a 68 350 this past September.  Like you said....  Soooo  Close 

Thanks,  Dan

Not sure if anyone can help but here goes... I've owned the car to this engine for 30 years.  I was told it was originally a 302 car... It had the ralley stripes and z/28 badges when I bought it..  But I found this orphan thread which shows it being an ss car..  Mark sold it (somewhere between Monroeville, NJ and Carlisle, PA) and dropped it off on his way to Carlisle... 

If anyone bought a 350 68 camaro engine from Mark or junkman60 (from Monroeville NJ) or mdrz28@aol.com with the 18n457232
castings I would really like to talk about buying this engine from you.

Thanks,  Dan
