Could be anywhere from 1957 thru 1967, most any model of Chevrolet car or truck, with a few exceptions of course.

Chad,

- Clean the pad on the extended block surface where it protrudes in front of the head on the passenger's side and report the stamping numbers you see...there's lots of guys here that'll happily tell you what the numbers indicate the engine was from..

Wasn't the base v-8 in early '67 a 283, at least for certain markets?

Hi guys, I read in "Chevy by the Numbers" by Al Colvin that there may have been a few export Camaros that may have been equipped with 283s (one of my favorite engines) but possibly due to emission regulations they were not avail in the US

According to Tailfins & Bowties publication-
Chevrolet:
Production Figures & Option Totals - By The Book
by Len Williamson

There were no 283's in '67 for domestic or export use

According to "Chevy by the Numbers" there were a # of possible export 283 Camaros. Now Al Colvin actually came to one of the SuperCar Reunions and has pretty good info I would say there is a chance or more than a chance of an export 283 Camaro.
