non Corvette question

[Chris L.]

My friend just called me with a "barn find" Camaro. Has the following numbers. Pad id..T0320IV block casting # ends with 14570. Big block. I can't find it in any books I have. Supposedly a 68 Camaro....any one have a clue? Thanks

Chris,

14570 does not match any BB Chevy I could find.
The suffix code IV:

IV 1966 Chevrolet 396 325 TH
IV 1968 Chevrolet 396 325 TH
IV 1967 Chevrolet 396 325 TH AR
IV 1965 Chevrolet 396 325 TH

The block for these years vary.

68 Camaro's used casting numbers 3916323 and 3935440 and maybe others.

Better re-check that block casting number. There was never any big block block casting that used a casting number ending in "14570"

Chris -

The "IV" suffix was never used in any '67-'69 big-block Camaro.
