'67 Camaro E/SA redo

That's a great looking truck Brent. We rode up to Clarksville Saturday morning before going to the track to look at a 1989 Chevy 3+3 dually that was for sale. It had a terrific body, but the 454 was missing most of the emissions hardware...had to decline as it would have taken a chunk of change to put it back into compliance assuming I could locate all the pieces.

Back to the 327 - Sure enough nearly all the valves in both heads were leakers...that will be remedied Wednesday. Will do a leak down on all cylinders before it goes back in the car, but I suspect all will be acceptable as the engine only has around 100 miles total since it's build. Will check again once running and can build a little heat in it.
