I have a couple of original 12/67 dated wheels from my 12D build Z/28. Mine both have the large DF that is upside down at the valve stem and the only date appears on the inside of the wheel (not seen when a tire is mounted). This wheel has the same date but then at the valve stem has the DF rightside up and K stampings etc... Is this a replacement wheel? This seller is calling it an original and says he has another identical to this one. What gives?

Ok, Here we go. This may very well be a scam. Believe me, I am a skeptic. A seller on ebay listed that he had been stashing a bunch of original MO blocks. So, I ask him if any of them have original VIN stamps. He says it will take some time to gather the information. Here is a link to his items for sale: http://motors.shop.ebay.com/merchant/thegmparts_W0QQ_nkwZQQ_armrsZ1QQ_fromZ

Here is the dialog copied and pasted:

Me:
Hi, I am looking for my original MO 302. Do any of yours have the VIN stamped on them?

Him:
yes what is the last 6 of your vin you are looking for ,thanks the old engine shop

Me:
363362

Him:
the old engine shop here i have been taking and collecting over 300 special hi performance engines all have aluminum intakes over 20 18n ?? 302s #678 casting V1212MO---V0715MO ,s WHAT VIN ARE YOU LOOKING FOR I WILL CHECK IT WILL TAKE SOME TIME TO PULL MANY MANY ENGINES FROM THE RACKS THANKS

Me:
Thanks

Him:
on this 18N400928 V0314MO i have 8 early engines we are in the process of re building starting with 302900 up 307272,3132305,3240214,333272,335126,362363, to 362367 and will look just like this one went done THANKS SO MUCH FOR YOUR INTEREST

Of course, I was excited to see that a possible match is on the list. But, I am also a little worried because I provided the 6 digits. I did not give a production date for the car so I am waiting to find out the specifics about the casting date and V****MO number. Does anybody know this seller in Indiana? The crazy thing is, I know for a fact my car spent some time in Illinois and Indiana. There is no way I would even consider a purchase without seeing and posting pictures of the block stampings on this website and getting a blessing from all. One thing that bothers me is that some of the vin numbers listed have 7 digits instead of 6. He did provide  phone number. Thanks for the advice.

Date K 5 7 Axle code is BE 11 28G2 as copied and pasted from the auction. That means a late 1967 casting correct for a 1968 model car. But, I do not see any BE code axles for 1968 in my books. Looks like the BE code was not used until 1969. Could this have been assembled that early? It is listed on this site as a 2.56 axle for 1968 but no books support that. What gives?

I know this car is not restored to it's correct colors but do the VIN number and cowl line up correctly? It lists the VIn as    124378N370375 and the NOR body number as 16841. By my calculation this VIN should be somewhere in January 1968 but the cowl tag has 09E. Am I missing something?

Jerry came by to document my 68 today. It was so cool watching him do his thing. He showed me numbers on parts and places I never knew existed. I was so excited about the whole process. Here is a picture of Jerry and me in front my car. My yard looks like a Camaro swap meet since I had it all out for him to see. Anyway, great meeting you Jerry!

I want to remove the splash shield on my intake. The rivets are the button head type. Can they be removed intact? Or will I have to chisel or drill them in order to remove the shield? Any help would be great. If you have done this, please let me know how it worked out.

Hi all, I bought this RS gas cap and it came in a GM box with correct part number 3910189. I bought it on the premise that is was GM NOS but I did not pay ebay price for it. I notice that one just like mine sold for over $180 recently. I also notice that some have screws on the back and some have rivets. Please tell me if mine is an original. I do not see a part number on it anywhere.

This guy is saying that this block has no VIN stamping and that they did not start this until sometime in 1968. Is this true? Or, could this be an over the counter block?

The VIN has 12337 and the cowl tag has 12437 and looks like it is not attached. Not good.

The date seems to match the production sequence.  What do you think?

Is it weird to have this combo? It seems strange that someone would order deluxe interior and then not get any gauges or console. Mine seems to be originally configured this way. Can anyone post what a no console looks like? I Mostly all I see is console cars and I wanted to see the interior on a non console car. Anyone?

My car is a project so I am just disovering things here and there. Can someone tell me what this knob does? It doesn't feel like it is connected. I pulled it part of the way out and there is an arm on it. Thanks for your help.

My car has a 12D build date. Is there a 12E code for that month? Plus, who has the last Tuxedo black Z/28 in the registry? I believe mine is one of the last ones built, just curious. I read that Tuxedo black Z/28's stopped on January 1, 1968.

Ok, This has been bugging me for a long time and I have to start this post. Let me explain what I have in my books. Ok we know this:

The 350 was first introduced in 1967 in the Camaro. The engine block casting was 3892657 and according to my book was 1967 only and was used on 302, 327, and 350.

In 1967 the Z/28 302 was a one year only small journal crankshaft and very rare.

In 1968 they changed the Z/28 302 to the large journal crankshaft and used a different engine block as well, casting 3914678.

In 1967 the 350 was introduced and the crankshaft was a large journal. This again was a one year crankshaft and all were forged steel. Also, noted that this was the only large journal crankshaft offered in 1967.

So, how did they put this large journal crankshaft in the very same block casting number that is a small journal block? Did they just machine the block and main caps to accomodate the large journal crankshaft?
