305HO or NOT???
Is the 305HO the LG4 or L69? When I did and VIN decoder it showed the my engine is a LG4 but the decals and such on the car says it's a 5.0 HO, so I am a bit confussed. Maybe it's just late and I need to go to bed. LOL
1984 Z28- 8th letter in my VIN is "H".
Did they do something in 1984 that I don't know about?
Thanks

Dave,
Yeah I know. What I am trying to figure out is why my vin# tells me it's a LG4 with the number eight letter being a "H". If it is a HO it should be a "G" which idicates it's a L69.
All of the decals and such say it's a HO and the VIN says it's a LG4.
Thanks

If it's an L69, you will have a dual snorkel air cleaner, your carb will have "DR" secondary metering rods in it, the Y-pipe will be 2 1/4 inch mandrel bent pipe, the catylitic converter will be a Corvette "wide mouth" design with oval entry & exit pipes, four-bolt flange style. It will have a knock sensor screwed into the block on the passenger side water jacket. Your tach will probably show a 5500 RPM red line and will rear to 8000 RPM. Your car will more than likely sport rear disc brakes and a 32mm swaybar.

Well, The mystery is solved....
It's not the HO. I looked up the casting number on the block and it ended in "SDN" whick tells me it's a LG4. Someone played a sick joke on me and put the decals on it and made me think its the L69.
Thats ok, I'll still keep it, might even leave the decal on the dash just cause it looks cool.
I appreciate everyone's input.
Wonder what else I will find????

What could you tell with regards to the clues I gave you?

The VIN engine code is a 7. I wonder if the digit could have been different for other years?
The tach is a 5000/7000 RPM unit. Again, did they change in later years?
It has rear discs that were an option that could be ordered for any Z/28.
