sounds like the 5.0 liter H.O. That is why it has a dual snorkel air cleaner unless he put one on from a different car.

Most every 84 Z-28 Camaro I've ever seen has the L-69 305 HO. The eigth digit of the VIN should be a G. Stock they came with 190 horsepower and 240 ft/lbs of torque. I have this motor in my 84 Trans Am and it has surprising get up and go.

All the ones I've seen have been LG4's, I've never actually seen an L69 in person.

This sounds like the l69. A slow pos lg4 would not have the dual snorkels. Does this car feel like it has some power? If so it's a l69 because a turtle is faster than a lg4.
