Jim Boburka's Camaro

Interesting car in terms of class versis car representation. The car is dressed as a Z/28 as we all know came with a 302 sbc. I believe a 1969 camaro with the 302 falls into E/S yet this car clearly is classified as a A/SA. There are only 396 and 427 bbc in that class. The only cars to come through with the cowl induction hood was a Z/28 or the COPO 9560-9561 cars. If it is a 396/375 L78 L89 it has wrong the hood . I thought the car still had to fit the engine option as it was offered from the factory ?

Also 1969 Z/28 non RS cars had argent silver grills even though many have been replaced with black. Don't get me wrong , Jim's car is beautiful -just a bit confusing to those who not in the know !

Finespline,
It's very common that owners ad Z-28 emblems even though the car is clearly not a Z-28. I'm sure Chevrolet has produced 50:1 emblems per actual Camaro Z-28 produced!
Cowl hoods were also on Z-10 & Z-11 '69 Camaro's as standard issue and others can show that they were also available on just about everything else.
Bottom line, NHRA accepts it.

Finespline, the L-78 was available with the cowl induction hood. I have one to prove it, with documentation!!!

I forgot about the Indy pace cars with the standard cowl induction hood. Joe , you are right as after a certain date of the build year , ZL-2 hoods were available on any V-8. Which made it retroactive to the beginning of the build year. I was wrong !! That had to be the best selling hood chevy ever sold as a option or over the counter. Has anybody measured any difference ET wise from flat hood to cowl hood ?--------John
