My mid Dec cast, late Dec assembled block, manifold, and heads came in conjunction with a July stamped 266 unit which was apparently normal for what then was considered early production '68 Z's so any left over or unused 266's from late '67 production runs were still being used to that point - Randy

I am looking at a early Feb car and it has a 467 dist. I was not sure if it should have a 266 in it.

My fathom blue 12d 68z has the original 266 dated july 67.I believe a Feb car should have a 467.    John

Thanks  guys I finally went and looked at my 02E Los Z and it has a 467 dist.    It looks to me like they switched over mid to late Feb.  Thoughts

I see in Jerrys book on page 39 he shows a 467 dist with a  8B8 build date which would be Feb 8 1968 .
