Hello Members,
Does anyone know is a stove pipe heat riser from a 6 cylinder '68 Camaro will fit a 327-210 hp '68 Camaro?
Thanks in advance.

Thanks for the fast response on the 14's ! Another question regarding pace cars. Is there supposed to be a yellow crayon marking on the rear bulkhead indicating an "X" code. I have seen the "X-7" and "X-3" markings on Z-28's on the passenger side rear seat bulkhead. Have been told that Pace cars should have a "X-0". Does anybody know if this is true? Also being that bulkheads are different from convertibles to coupes would the supposed "X" marking be in the same general area?   

Have read that the two pace cars on the track in '69 had 15" E-70's on them. Are F-70 14's correct for the rest of the replicas or should they also have 15's on them? (in terms of when the cars left the dealerships).

Appreciate all of the responses. Have seen the the cowl tag up close twice and it is definately an 05E not an 03E assembly date. I wish that had been the mistake. Am holding out hope that it still an original Pace car with a transplanted engine. Have gone down to the oil filter area of the block and removed any paint and there is not even a trace of any numbers. That coupled with fact that the suffix code stamped on the pad is pretty much dead center as opposed to being off to one side tells me that it is restamped engine from another Chevy. However I'm told that much like all X-coded cars there should be an x coded factory crayon mark behind the passenger rear seat at the top of the metal. Thought I read recently as I have been researching this that the correct code for Pace cars is X-0 much like the X-7's and X-3's of Z-28's. Any insight is greatly appreciated.

Have finally gotten the VIN. It is:12467n626382. Seems this would indicate a late built March car. Is this a possibility to match with the cowl tag? (an abnormality?)

Does anybody know what the certain range of VIN's are supposed to be?

Can anyone please explain to me the link of the VIN to a Pace Car? Are there supposed to be certain production #'s? Thanks 

Made a mistake on the assembly date on the stamp pad. It reads: T0529JL. Have not bought this car but am considering it so I do not have a picture of the cowl tag nor do I know the VIN. The pad had paint across it so was not able to look closely for broach marks. Is the VIN pertinent to linking it to a Pace Car?

Have found a '69 Pace car with a L-78 motor in it. Car has what appears to be mostly if not all original cracked (checked) laquer paint. Original sheet metal, original spatter spray in trunk. Has a 272 block with JL suffix code. The problem I have is the trim tag shows 05 E as the assembly. Have never seen one outside of the usual 02 D - 05 A assemblies. Have there been any documented or verified Pace Cars outside of the usual assemly time frame? Casting date on block E 27 9. Engine assembly is T0527JL. Is it possible that is was a special post production order? Does the vin # fall into a certain category that could connect it to a Pace Car time frame assembly? It is a Norwood car. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
