The engine was in a stack of 283 small block, the block casting number is for a 67 283 cu. in. engines. For matter of record by shop and storage area is known as "Mike's Small Block Orphanage" with last count of 35 engines. I noticed the end of the crankshaft and knew by the circular end with the "v" notch.

Put the engine in the shop and removed the crankshaft. The casting number is 6764. Four reference books for small block chevrolet casting numbers list this crankshaft for a 1967 302 "Z-28." The crankshaft was installed in the high performance 283 block and created the 1967 Camaro"Z-28", 320 cu. in. under General Motors Work Order #19621-34, dated October 11, 1966 and read "remove engine, send to motor room, install engine #196231-high performance 283", engine weight dressout was 572 pounds. Only 602, 1967 "Z-28", 302 cubic inch camaros were built, the remainder of the 1,000 production required to meet racing requirements were 350 cubic inch.

Car #1 went to Aero Chevrolet in Alexandria, Virginia and was Johnny Moore's entry in the Daytona 24-hour Continental. Car #2, #3 and #4 went to Yenko Chevrolet in Canonsburg, Pa. 1967 Camaro "Z-28" 302 cu. in. #9, #10 and #11 went to Nickey Chevrolet in Chicago. "Z-28" #21 was delivered to stunt driver Joie Chitwood in Tampa, Fla.

I have been amazed, after making a couple of phone calls, the information I have received concerning this engine and will post some photos of the disassembly later in the week. Also I think it has the original "Z-28" 302 camshaft. Think maybe Stock class 1967 302 cubic inch Camaro? I won't post what the horsepower rating was by some magazines in 1967 but Chevrolet listed it as 290 at 5800 rpm.

Hemipart didn't mean to steal your post concerning the crankshaft.
