Question about 1969 Z28 DZ engine
« on: November 15, 2007, 03:17:55 PM »
I am restoring a 1969 Z28 Camaro with a build date 1st week of June 1969. When I bought the car the original engine was missing so now I'm searching for the correct date coded engine. I posted a wanted ad on Camaros.net and found a 1969 302DZ engine with date code of April 16,1969. I know its not as close is I would like but I would appreciate any feedback about this engine. Would it be acceptable for my Camaro or should I keep looking. If any who reads this has a 302DZ that would work please respond.Thanks for all feedback

Forget the April 16 engine; not even close.

06A is misleading as it includes all Norwood Camaros built in June; a span of about 3 weeks.
Learning more and more about less and less...

William,
Thanks for your reply. So all Norwood built cars in June had 06A? Or what exactly do you mean? Thanks in advance

Yes all June Norwood cars had a trim tag build of 6A, although cars were actually built in the weeks following as well.
