1969 Chevrolet Camaro 350 L65/TH350
|
|
|
|
|
|
The car is a "sister car"
to my SS 350 as they are
produced just 5 days apart at the Van Nuys plant
in Los Angeles. The 396 SS is produced
second week of
February 13th
1969 and my SS 350 is produced February 18th,
the VIN numbers of the two cars are 818 cars apart - both build at the Van Nuys
plant in Los Angeles.
The
car is a "late" Van Nuys (Los Angeles) Camaro and therefore it has a VN code on the
trim tag or VIN tag, earlier part of 69 Van Nuys cars received a LOS (for Los
Angeles) code on the trim tag. Click
HERE to
read about decoding your Camaro.
As there is no X-code
on the trim tag on Van Nuys Camaros you have to rely on other clues to verify
what the car originally was - in many cases this can only be verified if the car
still retains its original drive train. In this case the original drive train,
engine and transmission has the VIN number of the car stamped on them. The engine has the HD code, which makes it a L65 250 hp 2 barrel V8 with Turbo
hydramatic transmission. The L65 Camaro was a replacement for the LM1
350/255hp Camaro discontinued 1/1-69.
The engine is
a 4 bolt main block with 5 main bearings, bore is 4" and stroke 3.48" giving a
displacement of 350cui (5735ccm).
