This is asking alot but I need 1968 STOCK 327 engine compartment pics please - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Brewski* · 02-09-2006, 09:17 PM

My burb originally had a 327 w A/C but the AC Was after market and the motor was jerked a long time ago and replaced with a 350> I am trying to get some detailed pics of the FACTORY 1968 327 engine compartment with and or with out AC. Very interested in the actual brackets for alternator, and AC set up. My AC compressor was on the driver side and alternator on the pass side. I am trying to rebuild the burb as factory as possible. Also pix of the factory air cleaner would be helpful also. . If someone has original brouchures engine pics that would help also
Thanks a million,
Brew

Southernparts has a 68 truck that's very original. You might try sending him a pm. He won't be in town until tomorrow evening.

Here is the 327 engine from the '68 brochure.

Has the smog pump too!

I know I took some shots, but this is all I can find.

stllookn · 02-10-2006, 02:20 AM

Not all of them had the smog pump. My 3/4 and 1 tons did not have the smog pump.

Only 1/2 tons had them, and I dont think all of them had them either.

Brewski* · 02-10-2006, 10:56 AM

Any more complete compartment shots?

**southern parts** · 02-10-2006, 11:19 PM

hope this helps. These are from a 68 3/4 with a 327 I can get more tomorrow if you need them.

In the last pic it shows a water hose coming from the top of the water pump. Never seen that before. It has the two other hoses in the standard locations for the heater. Have any idea what the 3rd one is used for?

The hose coming out of the top of the waterpump goes into the intake behind the thermostat housing. The truck in the picture is a custom camper, maybe that`s why it has the third hose. Woody

I have a bunch of pictures I've taken for people. I could e-mail you some of them.

My truck has a smog pump. I think all 68 (and Later years till ?) 1/2 tons with manual trannies had them.
