Moose,

The Wenzil car 1967 302 Z-28 Camaro ran in C/Stock, (1968 photo).

The 1968 302 Z-28 car (heavier) was classed in D/Stock.

I've heard that these Camaro Z/28's came with the cross-ram intake in the trunk, but I'm unsure of the years 67-68-69 this option was available...were they allowed to use them or did they stick with just a single 4-barrel carb.

Moose,

They came with (standard equipment) with a Chevrolet Aluminum
High-Rise Dual-Plane Intake and a 780 CFM Holley.

The DZ-Option, Cross-Ram Intake with twin 660 CFM Holley's was
an in-the-trunk-option.

They could not be utlized for NHRA Stock or Super/Stock Class.

What's new for '68? Beep-beep...

I'll take a black one w/silver interior, 4-speed trans, manual steering, manual brakes and the 426 HEMI engine option, thank you. Also, have the service dept. swap the stock 3.54 gears with a set of 4.10's.

Unfortunately, F.A.S.T.only appears stock, and the cars have radical modifications, as discused in Dec. 2010 Muscle Car Review. Huge engines, gutted interiors, etc. These days it is very tough to get good comparisons of how things were "back in the day." Even tests back then were flawed by testers using stopwatches, good vs. bad drivers, "ringer" cars like the infamous 1964 GTO that had a 421, and the antics reported in March 1966 Car & Driver where Holman & Moody and Bud Moore prepped the Ford and Mercury respectively, the GTO was a Royal "Bobcat" but the 442, etc. appeared to be bone stock.
