Default 1968 L30 introduction?

HI, I am wondering if the 68 L30 engine was available for the whole model year. I have only seen large journal L30's in 68 Camaros from January 1968 on.I have read extensively, and do not see any introduction date, nor any 1967 built, 68 model year L30's.. Thoughts?> Thanks!

They were availiable thru July in 68. I have one of the last ones built. I've been trying to find one built later than mine. It's a 07E build with a 4808XX VIN.

L-30's were an option right from the start in 68. Never thought about a small journal 67 crank, thought they were all large from both Flint and Tonawanda.

The L30 was available throughout 67 and 68 production.

Thanks for the replys. Seems any advertisement for them is late in the model year.
I have owned a few ( own one now)and read all the articles, just curious on why all I seem to see, or pictures of are later 68 models. No biggie, was just curious. Thanks
