Did GM ever put M-20 in 69 Z-28??
« on: August 12, 2006, 07:41:38 PM »
did they ever put a m-20 in a 69 z originally??  i have recently looked at a 69 camaro that i had known locally back in the 80,s....I lost track of the car for years, but recently was told about this z-28 that had been stored for years...etc...etc............anyway, the car is an L.A  car ....it has the 12 bolt and discs, tach and guages,  and little plate on the rear frame rail, etc.   the original 302 is long gone, but the original muncie with the VIN is there ...but it seems to be an m-20....it has 2 rings on the input and is a wide ratio trans.....the car has always had the stripes and Z emblems and all the other parts...(supposedly it even had the 302) since back in the day...the car even has the old cowl air cleaner with the 302 sticker  in real rough shape....i just always assumed it was a real Z since when I first knew the car ....., but I was under the impression that it would have to have a m-21 or m-22 if it was a Z.

   I realize there is no way to tell if it is real for sure without paperwork, but I'd like to know if it is definitely not a Z. I actually figured it wasnt because of the trans, but I recently saw a Z for sale all original with paperwork and a m-20???  thanks...

Lots of Z's were built with M20. You had to order a 4-speed, but you could order M20, M21, or M22.

My 69Z has an M-20.  They say an M-20 is better on the street than an M21/22.

I have a fair amount of '69 documentation; 20% of the Z/28s have M20.
Learning more and more about less and less...
