Yes, the early ones still got the same 200 the '82s used. The 700R4 was new in '83 and replaced the 200 early in production. I have an original '83 Z/28 built in May with the 700R4. They have a unique tail housing with bosses for the torque arm bracket. '83 was the first year for the HO but was stick only. Hard to believe Chevrolet wouldn't have submitted specs on one of the most popular cars of it's time but it happens I guess, As someone mentioned earlier the the biggest blunder with the third gen cars is the legality of non Z/28 tuned port cars (never came off the assembly line).

Just an update, the 83 Camaro z 28 has been added to the classification guide. Thank You Ryck Campbell for your effort.
