Wasn't the CY also the police car version too?

427 COPO Camaros & Novas show L-78 on their buildsheets as that's how they were assembled,and then had a 427cid. installed instead.I would think the CY trans was available in all 5 vehicle types w/Spcl. Hi-Perf 427cid. as of 4/69.

Thanks Rick ,this if I read this right,would mean cars built after this date April 14 1969 would have received the "CY" code trans. Books are good!!Joe

Paper reports usually came out after the act was actually being done,so I would say even a lil before April 14,1969.
They may have been installing them much earlier then that,but because my books of these are incomplete,I don't have any earlier dates on paper to share then this one..

Re: "CY" and "CX" Question?
 
457 date would be around april 3rd which would put it slightly before the April 14th date mentioned as a possible cutoff date.I have a CY dated 478 ,2 weeks after the April 14 date. If we could come up with a bunch of CY and CX dates, a cuttoff could be narrowed in on.As far as comparing the trans cutoff date to when the cars switched, that would be tough.I suppose that they could have been intermingled until the CXs were all gone, or different plants could have run out of CXs at different times.Does this make sense?

Hello, not trying to piggy back on this just saw it I have a CY with the 6 bolt convertor out of a 73 Z/28 if there is any interest. Larry

The redesigned T-400 was coded CY. These were used in the Gibb Nova's and were the first built 400's designed for competition. While not having any reference at this time to look at, I believe the documentation I have shows the CX transmission being introduced on October 24, 1968? I have heard of the CY being used in later versions, but don't know what is documented on this?
