Welcome,
I know a many before me has posted useful information, but here is the hypertable information for all of the '68 base, Z, and SS information posted here:

based on the information you provided you definitely have a BB heater core. ? is it original to the car?

I believe it's stock, it's aged just like the rest of the engine bay. My main concern is the tire sticker. I can't tell if it's stock or not, but it has the 7.35x14 tires and AG, unlike SS cars which came with AH. If that were the original sticker, does that mean the car is not an SS? I feel it odd that one little sticker would disprove a whole car, especially since this car came stock with a Muncie like an SS. Thanks!

 SS should have leaf.  

Correct for all SS, but so did the non SS L30 327 if it was ordered with the M20 so not exactly a definite clue ruling out all non SS 100% entirely. Same with the rear brake line regulator valve.

The M20 4 spd is one of the transmissions available on the non SS L30 327. The tire sticker with that tire size 7.35X14 were only found on the non SS LF7 and L30 327's. M20, multi rear leafs, and rear break line regulator are a strong indicator that the L30 327 is what you have. However the BB heater box and hood springs indicate otherwise and is throwing me off??

Someone mentioned before what is the exhaust and trans crossmember?

The thing is, the M20 Muncie that I got when I bought the car us NOT the original one. The vin doesn't match. So it may have came with an M21 even. All I know for sure is that it was a muncie car originally.

Post a pic of the main fuel line where it routes up to the pump.

Also look at your crossmember.  SB & BB are different.

http://www.camaros.org/trans.shtml#Crossmembers


I would if I could, but It looks like when the PO put the non stock engine in, he didn't have a fuel pump attached to the motor. So I don't belive that there are fuel lines on the car, he may have been in the process of replacing them. What would those have shown? Would double lines have meant a 396 motor was in the car?

Ok take a pic of the pass side engine frame mount.

This is why I havent posted anything since.... Without seeing anything it is all speculation..  ;)  If you are unsure of what to post then just start taking pics of the things you think might make it this or that.

68RS/SS,
 I would like to see the speedometer cable hole and the writing on the core support, shifter hole, TT, spring perches. Others will chime in. It seems that the car has many parts from other cars. Where was your car built?
