Cheers Kurt. I'm thinking it's the L35 as other items point to it being a big block

Hi all,
I am restoring my 68SS and have been trying to get some original build information. I don't suppose this vin is on the database? 124378L331540 Or could anyone post the link for the original dealer search? I thought I saw one on one of the info pages but I can't seem to find it again. I have found this one but not sure of the quality of information available. http://www.gmmediaarchive.com/?page=3

Cheers for the replies guys.
I am still a little confused as the table indicates in my situation that the only way to tell what engine choice I have is by the gearbox type. As I have the M20 Muncie (numbers matching to the VIN) then the engine choices I have are the L35 and the L34. As much as I would prefer to have the L78 to play with, I want original so I need to make sure I am clear on what I can look for.
What's confusing me (and giving me a little hope for the L78) is the information I quoted from the transmission page in my initial post. Is it just my Aussie accent or does that read like the M20 was available for all engine types except the 1967 only L78 and Z28?
I have not had any luck trying to track down the original build information to know for sure so I am going of what is correct for the package I can verify.
Honestly, I appreciate all the help.

Originality / Engine options with M20 in 1968
« on: May 09, 2016, 10:30:35 AM »
Hi All,
First post written after many read and I'm hoping I can get some love. I have a 1968 SS coupe that I'm restoring to as original as I can. The big ticket item I am working on at the moment is the engine. I have the original gearbox with what appears to be the original diff but I want to know what engines came with the M20 Muncie option.
I've read through all the CRG information pages in great detail and the transmission page has this bit written on the 4-speed section - "The wide-ratio Muncie M20 was available with any of the high-performance engines, except the L78 and Z28 in 67 only came with the M21. The M20 was the only 4-speed available with the SS350 and the SS396/325 hp (L35) engines."
I want to read that as the M20 was available for all engine configurations available in 1968 including the L78 option. Is this correct or was it only the L35 and L34? I read the text as only being limited in 1967.
For your information, the gearbox vin is 18L331540.
If there is a standard process of posting that I haven't followed, I apologise. I will post up more pics and details of my baby when I get a few good ones together.
cheers, Mick
