My 68 z is 07b  rear code BV0316G1 E  engine is V0628mo on pad. CAST E228. It looks like rear diffs. were stretched out more

Hi, I'm looking for engine V0628MO.
Does your V0628MO block have your VIN stamped on it too? 
I own a 68 Z/28 with the Protect-0-plate and it shows V0628MO as the engine number, and VIN matches my car, but the original block is missing.
Been searching for the engine and came across your post.
Thanks in advance for following up on this.

Looks like the firewall opening may be challenging to retrofit an OEM style plenum duct. An easy hurdle to overcome.           

It may take some correcting using this -

Gotta love the ingenuity.

Yes, it is certainly functional, and part of the history of the car.  I'll hold onto the homemade air cleaner, and keep it with the car.
I had one of the OEM crossram plenum air cleaners back in the 80's with my 68 Z/28 and would like to get one on this car someday.

I just checked mine. Yes the measurement is the same.

Thank you!

Anyone know if the stock GM cross ram air cleaners have the same carb stud spacing as the carbs on an Edelbrock STR 10 manifold? 
I have the STR 10 on my 68 Z/28 and was looking at replacing the homemade air cleaner with one of the reproduction OEM style air cleaners (or an OEM one if I can find/afford one).
I looked through the thread, and didn't see a reference to this.  Only found the recommended air cleaner in the STR 11 instruction sheet. 
Did a search for that number (#EC-902P) and it came up with an air filter for an air purifier system :-)
I like the home made air cleaner, but it's sort of like that scene in the Apollo 11 movie where they have to build an air filtration system out of available parts on the capsule...
Thank you.



"we have to make this, fit into the hole of this..."


For reference, I measured 10 3/4 inches from center/center for the studs.
