It has a part number but I couldn't tell you what it is. They were used on the Trans-Am race cars. I got that from a friend whose boss' brother worked on a Trans-Am team.

Thanks for all the tips, especially the assembly drawing. The front flange is there it just doesn't show at that angle.

Restoration / How to repair plastic/vinyl air dam (69 BB w/ AC)

« on: April 18, 2011, 01:23:21 AM »

I have this air dam that goes under the front of the sub frame. It's made of plastic or vinyl. Does anyone know how I can repair the tears at the mounting holes. Some type of glue, epoxy or plastic weld?

Well that's the issue. The block that was in the car when I bought it is long gone but it was small journal. I don't think 2nd owner changed engine, he sold it after a year, it wasn't very practical for him. I'll call the original owner on Mon. He owns a speed shop and raced the car so I know he had the engine out. With any luck the original block is laying in a corner.

Thanks, I've been to that site, also saw sites that said 257 was used in 68. Bought the car in '72, 3rd owner, original owner said he sold it with original engine. When I tore the engine down it was 2 bolt main small journal. So I bought a new 4 bolt block and built that up.Trying to decide if I should go for correct block.

Did the early 68 Z28 date, 12E, come with the 389257 small journal block or did all 68's have the 3914678 block?
