The Z28 did not come with the 428. Ever. The whole point of the Z28 was to get into a race class with a limit to the displacement. The Z28s always came with a 305. They did make the Camero with the big block, but it was not the Z28. I don;t think it was the 428 is either, I am pretty sure the big block option was a 396.

The only "factory" Z28 that ever came with the 428 was the old Yenko. It was avail. at several Chevy dealers, and warrantied as such, but it wasn't a true Chevy.

So ya, it would still be a '69 Z28 with a 428.



The Camaro, we don't have.

We do have, however, a Ford 460 overbored 0.030 to 530ci, a 440 six-pack, and a chevy 3/4ton heavy-duty with a 454. they're for sale. if you want the 428 camaro, i can get it for you
Nice work. Yeah, you got me. I did not account for the engine swap.

I have decided my next car will be a 2008 Z06. (Gotta pay off the S first.)

My buddy had an orignal '69 Camero with the 396. He put A/C into it, and rhino-coated the inside of his trunk. DORK! He just bought a 50th ani-vette. Sad to think about how he will destroy it. (He is talking nitrus and a supercharger.)

the Cleveland* is one of the all-time small-block greats


but a cobra or gt40 replicar really deserves something more along the lines of an SCJ
