No. 1968 Camaro Engine options were a 230-cid 6 (3.8L), a 302-cid 8 (5.0L) and in the SS/Z28 a 396-cid 8.

The real answer is 302's were only designated for the limited # of Z-28's. SS cars came with either 350's ( 295 hp) and 396's ( I believe 325, 350 and 375 hp). The 327 was available in any other camaro. A great find is an l-30 / M20 car with 327 /275 hp and M20 four speed combo.

Back in the '70's I owned a '68 RS with 327 (275HP),4 barrel rochester carburetor, 4 speed (think it was Muncie shifter), Hide-away headlights. Also had full factory gauges. It was a medium steely blue. Loved that car. I actually dream about it occasionally!

Neighbors of ours back in the late 70's, had a 1968 Chevy Camaro Convertible, non SS, with a 350 V8, auto..they lived in Michigan at that time and where good friends with Plant manager at the assembly plant, they watched as the car was being built on the assembly line, when it came time for the engine install, the manager said give them the 350 V8 engine, when our local Chevy Dealer was servicing it, they said this Camaro should not have come with this engine? My Dad was offered to buy the car in the early 80's but declined, somebody else bought it and wrapped it around a tree a few years later, if anybody can shed some light on this let me know, a case of not what you know, but who you know
