| RE:speaking of S codes? |

One question I have that I've never heard/read a solid answer to is this:
Was there a 1967 Fairlane -Z- code 390?
In '66 there was a -Z- code for all Fairlanes except the GT which was mandated -S- code only. The -Z- code was the "standard" 390-4V/300 horse.
But I can find nothing about this -Z- code engine contining as an option for '67. However many years ago, before I cared anything about such things as VIN codes, I remember seeing a couple of '67 Fairlane XLs with 390-4Vs. They did not have the common GT engine dress up kit, i.e., chrome valve covers, air cleaner, dip stick handle.
One of these '67 XLs gave me quite a surprise one night back in '68. The '67 Fairlane had a factory 390-4V with no chrome. It was a 4 speed. I had a '66 GTA. We had us a little country drag race. I thought he'd be no problem for my GT390. Wrong! He hung right with me stirring the toploader very well.
I've thought about this often. What engine was the '67 390-4V non GT? |
