'67 Camaro E/SA redo

HandOverFist · 09-28-2014, 12:08 AM

Just got home from the track this evening from the car's first outing since the teardown and new motor install. It was a tuning exercise from hell with the new QuickFuel carb and intake...and it is far from over lol. Long story short is the motor only ran a best of 7.43 with 60' times around 1.55.

Now the good news...I managed to win the E.T. bracket race with this junk lol. It was the same scenario as our last final at US43 shortly before the teardown...somehow I managed to pull a horseshoe out of my butt cheeks again. Seems the worse our junk runs the more intense I become on the starting line. I wasnt beat on the tree in any round and every single round was won on the starting line. My partner was so happy I think he completely forgot what a dog of a motor he had haha.

Just a theory on my part atm, but I believe that Team G intake might just be too much for this motor's heads and camshaft. I'm thinking if I bolt the Stocker's manifold and our good Q-jet on this 327 it would really wake it up...may test this theory out Oct. 11 at a 3K no box race. At any rate it felt great being back at the track again finally.

Donny Turner's immaculate E/SA '67 Camaro. I hope I can build our motor to run close to what his beautiful machine is capable of.
