Re: 1967 camaro A/S project
 

It's going now all machine work done ,mock up will begin . Cam and lifters are in. Rods here, should all start coming together nicely . Can't wait to see what kind of power we can make !

You can run aftermarket pistons . My pistons are NHRA legal Diamond part number 80013 1967 396 375 hp. I guess I should have said we have one mocked up to check all clearances then the other 7 can go in . I'm clarifying this for the question Robert had just to make this clear. Sorry for any confusion.

This should be a very nice 396! This thread should keep rolling along now :)

Re: 1967 camaro A/S project
 

You have a beautiful car and very cool. Forgive me for asking such a question. But, I did not think that the piston domes could be modified in any way to match the heads in stock eleminator? Or is this a practice I was not awair of? Or is this a SS project?

Thanks

Robert

Re: 1967 camaro A/S project
 

Your forgiven. This is a A/S build. Section 10A, Page 5. Class stock. OEM or NHRA -accepted aftermarket replacements permitted provided such items comply with all requirements set forth in this section.
Aftermarket pistons may be forged or cast and must retain the as-cast or as-forged HEAD CONFIGURATION.

Wow amazing Stocker build!

Re: 1967 camaro A/S project
 

Ok that makes sence. There is not a direct replacement piston for you combination. Will the machining remove the NHRA numbers, or are they on the bottom? Thanks again.

Re: 1967 camaro A/S project
 

Tim, what size rear wheels and tires are on the car, and what backspace?

Re: 1967 camaro A/S project
 

Matt,

They are 15x10 with 5 inch backspace . The tires are Mickey Thompson 29.5 x 9.0 x 15S

Re: 1967 camaro A/S project
 

What a beautiful tire package ,just like the tire on your red stocker you had,man that is gona be hard to decal that thing if contingent money is in the plan,super sharp stocker ,you do nice work,what are you aiming at .8 to 1.0 under

Re: 1967 camaro A/S project
 

If it'll go 1.00 under I would be ecstatic! This combo has been beat to death for 40 years lol not the smartest to run a 396/375 hp alum head lol. More of a cool factor for me ,just want it to be respectable . It'll all be new so it'll take a lot of sorting out , but it'll be a lot of fun to drive!
