*Wondering how many of us thought of this today?   

Those are bolts, not the same as the original screws. If you are looking for original, those wouldn't work!

You're right... and I missed that.   Got the 'hex head' bolts today...  UGH...   

Thanks Fellas...  I appreciate it, especially the info that AMK has them.   I'll probably order a few sets (at least enough for 2 carburetors to get over their $30 minimum charge...

And then I noticed this...

which is a better way to buy 8...

Is there a source for the original Holley fuel bowl screws (flat blade type)??

I have an extra '902' booster and Brake Boosters does an excellent job with their restorations.. 

..  appears we all need a quick trip to the PO before they run out.. 

Good pix, Phillip~       you're looking pretty good too for an old Camaro guy~   
Congratulations on making the magazine..

Replacing original Z28 intake/carb with a crossram generally means you want your Z28 (to look at).. rather than to drive...  but DRIVING a 'stockish' Z28 is so much fun! 

Good luck with your restoration! 

In 1974, I bought an all -original '68 Z28 in the same colors (for $1000)... drove regularly and worked on it until 1976 when I traded it for the '69 Z28/RS that I still have today.   That '68 ran like a scalded dog!  but would jump out of 4th gear when I let off on it at speed...

you can check the Camaro options codes to check if SS options and 6-cylinder engines were available, but over the years I've seen a 'few' 6-cylinder Chevys with SS trim.   Hemmings reported on a '63 Impala Convertible with 6-cyl 230 ci engine.

I suggest one extra step to that already stated by adjudimo:

clean the stamped pad at the front of the engine with a solvent and then put a piece of duct tape over the pad and write on it:   DO NOT MACHINE THIS SURFACE!!

(DO NOT TOUCH THIS SURFACE MIGHT BE EVEN MORE SURE!)..  It's very important to future value of your car...

Most truck engine 350 ci engines of that era DID have 4-bolt mains...

The engine placed into a '69 Corvette built in the ST Louis assembly plant (Corvettes) was installed in a Corvette in mid-December 1969 (one of the last Corvettes built for 1969), and of course would have been a 350 ci engine in the Corvette.   It would only be a 302 ci now, if someone used the block and a 302 crankshaft to build a 302 ci engine..

If you need to sell it, and can't do the work yourself, then sell it as is but carefully list that you have the original engine and transmission to go with it..

split the difference and go 80% gloss...
