Q? 12-bolt 3.07 rearend came with what engine/trans combo
« on: January 21, 2018, 07:09:06 PM »
I've been trying to figure out the possible engine/trans combos that my 69 may have been built with...
the car has the original rearend (Axle code: BR 1206G1, Line2: E, Casting: 3894860NF) Read: 12-Bolt Posi 3.07
But the engine/trans are non-original.
And I know it is was originally a manual transmission car(clutch/brake pedals).

So, assuming the 3.07 gear ratio was standard and not an option...
What engine/trans combos would have been possible?

Where does the speedo cable come out of the firewall? If it comes out under the fuse box area it is a lower performance model like a 307/200hp Higher performance model muncies, come out to the side of the throttle lever (Left side looking at the firewall, right side of the car)

Curious... Where did you find that info?

Also, I don't think my Camaro would have had a BBC because of the heater core in/out location.

If it's a small block heater box, the rear end is original and the Muncie hole is original, then the car started life as either an LM1 (if the car was built before January 1st, 1969) or an SS 350. However, the 3.07 ratio was the optional "Economy" ratio, not the "Standard" ratio on both engines. The standard ratio for the 1969 LM1 and L48 with the Muncie M20 was the 3.31 non-posi.

OK, thanks.

Is there a list compiled that shows all the standard gear ratio's for each engine/trans combo??
I was looking for one but never found one.

Yes, it's called the Camaro Power Teams chart and it's in most of the dealer literature. It's also in the Camaro Reference book by John Hooper.

I have one generated. It needs proofed (it's complicated and it changes during the year) and I need to figure out how I'm posting it (*not* a html table).

Every year had a different Power Team Chart that showed what engine, transmission, and other options like AC would come with as standard, performance, economy, or available as special order.

They are hard to find online, but almost all the old school pre internet fact/data books have them. I am surprised CRG does not have that information published, but sounds like they are working on it.

It was in some dealer sales brochures that you can find online. Here is a link to one:

I know how to make pdf's. The issue is the data isn't easy to present completely.

Look on page 11.

Interesting that document does refers to Z/28 here and there, but has nothing on the 302 in the drivetrain specs.

I noticed that also.  My suspicion is that it wasn't listed in the 'engine options', because the 302 was not an engine option; instead it was *part* of the Z28 performance option (including many other parts and requirements beyond the engine).
