Estimated Value $135,000
The solid-lifter
302-cid V-8 with an 850-cfm four-barrel carburetor was again exclusive
to the Z28. Dynomometer tests at close to 400 horsepower made a joke of
its 290-horsepower rating. Dealer-installed dual four-barrel carburetor
options were offered even in '67, and for '69, $500 bought twin 600-cfm
Holleys on a cross-ram manifold, though at no change to the
290-horsepower rating. Chambered exhaust pipes -- perhaps the
least-restrictive exhausts Chevy ever offered -- also were available.
