Love those big block 67 vettes!
Actually in the process of doing a motor swap right now in our 69 camaro.

You guys need to stop in Bessette Motors in Carrington. They send cars to somewhere out east and they come back 1100 hp. They do cost a little.

Love me a 1st gen Camaro. What are you throwing in there? Looks like it might not be terribly cheap.

Nice looking SS

Just got done putting a 540 Scott Shafiroff 700 plus HP in my 68 Camaro. Not cheap, but the smile per mile was worth it.

Thanks, the 396 is long gone. I love putting miles on it since I have a tremec 5 spd, I went with a little 406. My grandson seemed to really like the new motor as well!

How is it set up? Drag, drag/cruiser, road course?

Just a fun street car, it goes down the interstate pretty smooth with the Hotchkis front suspension.

I have the same combo but I’m at least 150HP short of yours.

In regards to the OP, Dad graduated high school in ‘67 and a 427 ‘Vette of the same vintage was a “DREAM” of his.

Got it running this weekend and put a couple hundred miles on it, runs strong and sounds pretty darn good!

Must be for new Camaro if want all aluminum 427 or bigger you order one with factory big block and to get biggest big block your send car to California trade in your original big block for new ground pounder 427 or bigger only cost around 25K and up for difference I believe had friend did that several years ago.

I've heard the new "427" is somehow a small block?...

IMHO: This (below) is some genius poetry. It encapsulates the ecstasy of a good lay, positive "G"s with the green noise; achieved by proper distributer timing and Black Jack headers.

"And when the fear is left you'll put one down and go on"--I interpret that as a double clutch.

"And If you think the road's a bore well you know you're faking it"

Please don't be retarded and get killed or worse:

 

[SDMF]

5575, do you have a couple few electric pusher fans whirring on the front?

So they can become road handlers ? I had a 70 that I repowered 2 times, it went like a raped ape but straight for the left ditch when you got on it real hard. Power steering would have went a long ways in that car but I knew nothing about suspension . I helped my boy put the motor in a Fierro when he was in high school. It was a fun project together but it was a worse death trap than the Camaro . I'm happy to see the tradition go on and I hope my grandkids catch the bug, Iv'e been saving goodies for them just incase.

Sounds pretty throaty. . .
