Is there a GM factory manual on the assembly of the engine? Original or reprint, showing all parts with part numbers?

I'm in the same position as you, but I need more, (block & heads). There's a complete intake/ carb deal on ebay, search 3917610.

I have an all original 68 Z/28 with a build date of April 1st week 68, but the engine blew, beyond repair, so I need a block and 1 head. The good head has a casting date of C228(March 22 1968). Pitched the block sometime back and don't have the numbers on it. So I'm thinking the block should be dated around the same time as the head, give or take 1 or 2 days. The block casting should be 3914678 and I've been searching for 6 months and the closest I've found is March 8 68 and Ive found a pair of 3917291 heads with March 13 th and 28 th dates.

IF I CAN'T FIND THE CORRECT DATED PART FOR MY 68 Z/28 CAMARO WHAT WOULD BE BETTER, A PART WITH AN OLDER DATE OR A NEWER DATE?

Decoding/Numbers / Carb date

« on: March 19, 2010, 08:02:30 PM »

If a 3923289-DZ 4053 carb was dated 811, would  that be 68 model year or year carb was produced? If a next (69) year model was built in Aug of 68 would the carb be dated with an 8 or 9?

I stand corrected, I didn't know they were produce at the Norwood plant through Nov of 69. Man they must have had a shit load of back orders!
