I've never used synthetic oil.  I just had an engine built and my engine builder suggests that I go to synthetic.  I'm debating whether or not to use it.  The cost doesn't bother me.  But what got my attention is that he said it would add 5-7 h.p.  What do you think?

Thanks. Appreciate it.  That first 6 looks really funky, especially up close and in person.  Just wanted some of you guys to verify it.  But that's what it must be - a 68 327.   FYI my engine builder just completed it as a 355.  Going in my '68 SS/RS 350.

Here is the casting date I believe.  A 16 8.  That would be Jan 16, 1968, correct?

Here's a pic of the casting number.  3rd number from the end is in question.  Almost looks like a 3 or an 8 stamped over a 6.  6 would make sense, right?  Pic of date stamp coming next...

Thanks.  Is the dustcover orange or black?

68 SS 350...  Bellhousing is natural finish with orange overspray, correct?  Any pics of a survivor?

I know what you're saying.  I'll try to post a pic.  And this week I'll stop by my engine builder's and get the casting date.

Thanks but that's off by one digit. I found that one too while doing research.  I'm 100% certain of the numbers.

I can't find this casting number in any of my sources:  3914060 .  There is nothing on the stamp pad.
This is the engine I'm having built for my '68 SS/RS 350.  Can anyone ID it?  Thanks.

Excellent ko-lek-tor!  Thanks for your help. 

I have an intake from a 1966 327.  Part number 3905393.  I am not that interested in a correctly numbered intake at this point.  The one I have looks identical to the 3919803.  Would it work/perform okay? 

Thanks Paul.

Can someone please tell me the correct part number for the intake manifold for a 1968 Camaro SS 350?  Thank you.

Thanks guys.  BTW, this tranny is being used by my friend on a dirt track here in upstate NY.  We were just curious as to its' origins.  Fun stuff!  If only the original Camaro owner knew!!

Thanks Ed.  I will double check that vin.  It can be determined that this tranny was in a Camaro as opposed to any other model?
