Update on the car, had some motor issues, long story short, we are building a brand new motor for the car. Was hoping to be out this year ,but not looking good at this point. At least now I know everything will be brand new in this motor and my own. My uncle had a good block so we are using it along with new pistons, rods,cam, lifters all of it ! So maybe late this year, but its looking like next year. As nice as this car turned out no reason on rushing anything especially the main piece and no reason to throw something in it just to get it out. I'll get some pics as we go on the motor to keep ya updated. Everything is at the machine shop as we speak. My buddy Jim Evans RCE (comp racer) is gonna fix me up with hopefully one bad 396 setup!! We are gonna go to the dyno too, so it should be a cool fun build!

Lots of people have been asking about how I'm doing and hows the car coming so I just decided to say I'm doing great and the car is pretty much sitting in the garage waiting on the new motor. The new motor should be a very nice piece , Jim is doing one hell of a job on it, in between his racing, they just won the Chicago National event in Comp!!! I have purchased everything brand new and starting from scratch. I hope to be out next year for sure. When the motor starts going together I'll get some pics and hopefully some dyno videos. I got some little things to do to the car so I'll be posting pics here and there soon. I can't wait to get back out and race this car it kills me just to go out in the garage and look at it and wax it lol!

Finally got some new pictures of the 67 Camaro A/S build block and crank.

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

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
