Default Re: 68 Berger Z28

the car that I am speaking of is a Z not a SS I know that 67 and 68 Z had the small journal crankshaft and smaller bolts in the connecting rods. so I was wondering did they put a stouter shortblock that was balanced, blueprinted with 12.5 comp. and the hotter offroad cam?

Dont know if this will help at all, but in this months Hemmings there is a 68z28 in Grand Rapids Michigan. I called and the owner said that the car was put together and sold by Berger. He has no paperwork, but said he knows both previous owners and can put the car buyer in touch with Tom at Berger. If you want his phone number, email me. Tony

Berger sold regular 68 Z's, just like other dealers. A friend has one of their showroom cars, very loaded 68 RS Z. Everything is original and like it should be from the factory.
No idea what Berger would dealer install if you had the $$.

And all 68 small blocks had the larger bearing journals.
