z28 intake

[Richard 302]

Is there a consensus about when the first 67 z28 rolled off the assembly line? I was digging through old parts today and came across a 610 intake.  When I turned it over to look at the bottom to see if the heat shield was there, I noticed it was dated 3-14-67.  Seems to me that's awful early for a z car.  Did they use these intakes on 327 engines also in 67?

Not sure if it is a consensus, but seems to be in the know.

Yes, there is.... Many parts were made for 67 Z/28's prior to 3-14-67.

Thanks for the links. Didn't know 67 z/28s' were available that early.

There are 16 known Z's built before 1/1/67. As stated, the first was built 12/29/66 and was the only one built that day. There were over one hundred Z's built (NOR LOS combined) by the end of March 67.

So I assume these 610 intakes were also used on 66 and 67 327 L79 engines too?

Nope. Just 67 and 68 Z28

If your interested in 67-68 Z28s get a copy of the Fact Book. Lots of good information there including order/build dates for the first 25 1967 Z28s.

I know of 610 intakes dated 3.8.67 and 3.10.67. Perhaps production was ramping up at that time as the model year was approaching the final quarter.
