Decode help 1967 Camaro

[Angus777]

Believe I'm looking at an original "SS" but would appreciate the experience of the group.  Engine casting #3892657 and stamp is MV code matching vin.  L-48 350, 2 spd power glide, center console shift, 10 bolt rear end.  Engine decoded built a few weeks prior to manufacturing date of car.  Appreciate the help.

Sorry, engine stamp V0425MV

Should be a 12 bolt. Cowl tag shows it's an SS

What's the VIN? Also, can you post a picture of the engine pad? A late April engine in a mid June car isn't impossible, but a little unusual. And yes, it should be a 12 bolt, so can you post a picture of the axle stamp too?

And welcome to the site by the way!!

67 SS with auto trans option which was only powerglide came with a floor shift/D55 option.  Some of these cars were in fact produced with the 10 bolt rear end. 

[bertfam]

That applies to 1969, not 1967. ALL SS cars in 1967 came with 12 bolt axles.

Engine stamp picture I have is to difficult to make out.  V0425MV
It was my understanding as long as date of engine build was prior to body by fisher date it's appropriate.  Is this highly unusual the difference between April 25th and a June build? 

Have done a lot of research on the 67 rear end and it's my understanding the 67 SS with L-48 engine and auto trans only option being powerglide that GM did produce this car with the 10 bolt rear end.  Possibly, someone can validate this with more experience then me...

Working on quality pictures of the identification for the rear end.

From Hemmings which conflicts with camaros.org  Which references specifically the 67 SS with powerglide.  Have seen a few other posts discussing this subject.  Does anyone have any other reference or knowledge of the 67 SS with powerglide being produced with the 10 bolt rear end?  Greatly appreciate your help!

"There is some discrepancy about the rear axles used in Camaro Super Sports. The 12-bolt axle seems to be prevalent in all Super Sports, although factory literature suggests that SS 350s with automatic transmissions would've been equipped with 10-bolt axles. That seems to be the case with Powerglide-equipped SS 350s, but not those with Turbo Hydra-Matic transmissions. "

Looks like KurtS has referenced the hemmings info as valid only for 1969 in another post.   So all 1967 SS cars regardless of automatic powerglide ONLY were produced with 12 bolt rear ends?

[bcmiller]

Yes as far as we know. Check the axle date.

Correct, assuming where you say "cars" you mean "Camaros".

Sorry, yes all 1967 SS Camaros.  Appreciate the assistance will check all codes on rear end assembly.  So apparently it was possible to have a 1969 SS Camaro with a factory 10 bolt rear end.  Yet in 1967 every SS came factory with a 12 bolt...

Correct.

We specialize in 67-69 Camaros. Our information is accurate. Hemmings looks like they summated our information, but not correctly.
10-bolt is possible in 69, but very unusual. Not possible in 67 or 68.

You need to post up the rest of the numbers - VIN, pad pic, and axle code - for us to help you.

Engines were assembled and put on racks and drawn when needed. There was no "stock rotation". Plus, depending on the car model and engine ordered, some could have sat for months before being used while others not so long. My 67 LOS has an L35 engine assembly date of Feb 14 and the car was built April 17th (04B on the tag). My 05B NOR has an L35 dated March 8th. So you can see how in the case of the L35, not being too popular yet, can sit on a rack for a while before being used.
