Hey Kevin,  I think it's great what your doing helping out Misse with his Camaro. I'm not that familiar with the 68 Z28 but I'm sure there are plenty of others on this site that are. I wish you guys the best of luck and I hope it all turns out good. Please keep us posted with your progress.

I would love to hear what you all think of this "Rare" block that is up for sale on E-Bay.

If the 388 block was cast at Tonawanda, Were the other 3 DZ blocks cast at Flint?

Hey Lawrence, Would love to see some pic's of your car. You don't come across too many in that condition.

I'd be curious to know what the DB has for the earliest DZ 388 block.

Thanks Marty, I understand. That's the sad part of this hobby. People want to use your information for fraudulent gain. All I want to do is to learn more about the car I love. I'll be a little smarter next time I ask a question.

Sorry William. I didn't relies this was one of those issues. My cars tag falls right in that area and I was just curious. Remove my post if you would like.

I'm not sure if this has been covered before, If it has maybe someone could point me in the right direction. On the Van Nuys Trim Tags I know the the change from (LOS) to (VN) on the body numbers occurred sometime during the first and second week of Dec. 68. With the DB information that the CRG has or any other research can it be narrowed down any further?

Steve, Have you ever seen or heard of any 68 built 69 Z28's with the 388 blocks?

Thanks for the pictures Steve, It seems to me that maybe they were short on blocks at times and had to have some of the 388's shipped in from Tonawanda.

Yes your probably right Sam. The quality control back in those days is not what it is today.

Thanks for the reply's Chris and John. I have a 12B RS Z28 with a 388 block. Casting date(K308) and a build date(V1203DZ). I thought it was a little early to have that block in a Z but who know how they put thing together back then. Grab a block, build it, and not check numbers? I guess anything was possible.

That is interesting Chris. Jerry's book did mention that some of the early 350's used the 388 block. What is the cast and assembly dates on your block?
