Nothing wrong with running what you have. Just realize what you are working with and it's limitations.

Engine designs have changed and a lot of us detune for street cruising.
302s had their day. Build a 10 or 11 to 1 small block 406 if you want power from off idle and want to stay small block. 572hp @ 6000 rpm is fairly easy to do. That's not the peak hp yet, just what it was run to on the dyno during break in. And it will rev to 7500 for shifts.

Could just be a dealer with little or no First Gen Camaro knowledge. Or someone trying to mislead potential buyers. Hoping it's the former and not the latter.

Here is the one I mentioned. Can't remember if I ever posted this one before. Cast in September 1973. 3959512 casting number, which was commonly used for warranty/service blocks.

I have a 1974 - 327 CE shortblock, casting number 3959512, with large journal forged crank and has provisions for road draft tube. It's all standard bore, standard rods and mains.
My November 68 dated L72 shortblock (3963512 casting) with dimple rods and 6223 crank is bored 0.040 but I don't think it's all original. Rods and mains are standard.

I believe replacement POPs were normally issued by dealers when a car was sold to another person, but still covered by warranty. The complete drivetrain information was not stamped (since not done at the factory) and the book itself did not get the VIN holes in the book. That's as far as I know.
CE engines were built on weekends or on overtime, as far as I know. bergy or others may be able to confirm.
I can't confirm or deny that they were built from engines that failed inspection or were set aside.
Go back to the second post in this thread, to see what JohnZ said.

Randy, I will check to see if I have an extra. If I do I will send you a PM.
Chick, that list was for Chevelles. Note their are no listings for Z28. The AIMs for each year are the best source for the data.

Research Topics & Reports / Re: Hurst Shifter date codes
« on: December 10, 2016, 02:16:26 AM »
Well since this is a First Generation Camaro website, and the only Hurst shifters that we are doing research on are from 69 Camaros, yes. That's what we have determined in this thread that we are concentrating on, and we are trying to figure out the stamping codes. Unknown shifters don't help much.
My earlier post was a REQUEST, not a demand.
Thanks.

I really don't care who it was. It wasn't me.
But if this car does sell, I would like to know more about it. I would really have wanted to try for it, but the timing is wrong for any more projects at this time and I don't have room. But Burnished Brown is a REALLY good color.
I just hope the engine and the CY coded transmission stay with the car!

If possible, I would like to see any additional posts be from original cars with original shifters.

Welcome!
You aren't the only one around with a 302 in a 55 Chevy. My dad had one several years back. And it had an M22 behind the 302.
I am sure the car still exists.

Most Muncies will have a partial VIN - if originally installed in a car at the assembly plant. This is true even in 1967 and earlier model years.
