69 JL8
It's an origanal 1969 Z/28 cross ram intake DZ engine with the ULTRA rare JL8 four wheel disk option. I think the only thing that could get more rare was if was a convertable(only 1 or 2 made) or it was in fact a 302 hemi. Beautifully restored with the ultimate Camaro colour.

 

funny how there are no REAL photos of the car... and being a car in a magazine like that, i would think there would be a larger right up... but nice car non the less

 

A fellow in Chilliwack has the exact car you are talking about - I saw it today up on hoist at Buget Brake and Muffler - he was cleaning the under carraige with a cloth.
I had my work van in to check out a rattle in the exhaust.

It was a blue with white stripes Z/28 vert, all original numbers matching.
The fellow was as proud of his car as a person would expect.
I informed him of my love of Fbody's.........and told him I have a 97 Z28. He didn't appear to be at all interested.

The only thing that could have made his car better looking would have been if it had came with a RS package to compliment the Z/28.

Solid Lifter 302..................

What he heck is a hemi 302?

 

what kind of cheap f*ckint crak are u on buddy ?

 

I dont think that the guys car is factory original. According to this there was only ONE first gen Z/28 made. That guy could have it though. It had JL8 and the cross ram intake also. That is rare as rare can get. 1 of 1. I'll try and find some more info on the hemi 302. Have to go to work.

 

Looks like an Ebay scam. Alot of First Gens are being sold on Ebay for rediculous prices, and people are getting ripped off. The guy has 2 feedback, only pics from a magazine and no description what so ever????

This is a scam waiting to happen.

If it's real, it should have alot of pics, and documentation to prove. There are alot of guys selling clone Z/28's and COPO's and scamming people as well.

My '69 will be a clone, but I will always be upfront with that, and never BS that it is a real Z/28.

 

[QUOTE=NorthernSSor it was in fact a 302 hemi. [/QUOTE]

Dodge made the Hemi. Period.

 

So did ford.

Except they called it boss and it came as a 429 or 460

 

hemi was marketed and trademarked by dodge/chrysler. hemi is just the hemishperical design of the head chamber or some bull****. still never heard of a gm 302 hemi.

 

Well they are all hemis, cuz our cylinder heads I belive have a Hemispherical combustion chamber design also.

 

It's more than just the shape of the combustion chamber. A "real hemi" has the spark plug location in the center of the cc ,between the intake and exhaust valves.

 

Ive got the magazine article at work and will get it on Monday. It was in CHP or Super Chevy, I cant remember. I remember it was a very rare option(dont remember exactly but very few). It was probably a engine made for Trans AM racing.

 

Are you thinking of the cross-ram intake on the DZ 302? The cross-ram was a rare option, that had a dual carb intake manifold that placed the carbs diagonaly to each-other. And a large oval shaped air cleaner.

The 302 came in all Z28's with 290 hp rating, Trans Am racers of that era had to have motors of 305 ci or smaller to qualify.

The other more rare motors are the Copo iron block 427 (which came in the Yenko Camaro's), or the ZL1 all aluminum 427. A ZL1 '69 Camaro will push around $200K or more if I'm correct.

Please correct me if I'm wrong on any of these points, going by memory here.

 

ive seen an orignal "cross-ram" intake with orignal carbs sell on ebay for 18 grand

 

I am sure it was a DZ block but it had a modified cross ram intake. I think they used the top half with the carbs but the lower part had to be modified to fit the heads. It definately not a ZL1 or COPO car, it was a 302. I'll get the article from work today and post what I find.
