Just curious, Rich,,, what heads are on your 327 "test bullet"? They look from the outside like 186 or 492 castings, but my eyes aren't what they used to be.

Danny - I helped assemble that engine about seven years ago for a hot street '66 Chevy II, but a lot of the details escape me. I know they are the big valve and probably a 492 casting. I remember the pistons were short and light with narrow rings...only about 100 miles on the engine to date. The only change we made was to install a solid lifter 302 Stocker camshaft which replaced a factory 302 cam along with a single plane intake manifold.

Looks good Rich, it will really look outstanding when you get it all together.

You have put a lot of work into your Camaro this year and I am a little jealous of the amount of work that you have been able to accomplish.

Good luck next spring at Bowling Green.

It is looking good. All the hard work will be worth it.

Re: '67 Camaro E/SA redo
 

Sounds like a pretty good combo,,,, it would be a killer stick motor,, should still run great in your "reborn" Camaro,,, have fun with it.

Yeah, it was in a stick car to begin with. Got it running now, but the new carb will need some tuning to cure an off idle stumble. Plan to take it to the track this weekend.

LOVE the black & gold on the car & I'm a Ford guy. You have to be a working animal to make as much progress as you have in this time. KUDO's :)

Reminds me of Donny Beeler's ride. . . . only cleaner!

Out in the sunlight for the first time. Still a lot of buffing to do, but it's going to the track Saturday finished or not. ;)

Great job!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I've meant to comment sooner, but I got delayed. Back in the late '60's there was a '67 Z-28 that ran at E.S.T.A. Safety Park in Cicero N.Y. that was painted the same color. It was owned by Nate Galey, and he ran an Atlantic Gas Station in Fayetteville, NY. He named the car "Gold Rush". It ran really well back then. I have a pciture of the car launching and it I can find it, I'll post it. Good luck this weekend Sir.
