Potential 68 Camaro Stocker Build
 

I just assembled this car this year for a street strip deal, but I am thinking I might make a stocker out of it.
I have looked at what combos I can choose from.
At this point I am looking at keeping it a automatic.
So probably choosing between a 350 build or 396 build and if there is any advantage to a 327 I would look at that also.
Can I get some input on the pluses or minuses of those combos, trying to decide which way to go.
The car is a 68 with all new panels I have not had time to cut the marker lights in yet.
Thx in advance.
I can’t seem to post pictures from my iPad it keeps turning them upside down

Try a pic one more time
When I preview post there always upside down.
Even turned upside down in my library before uploading and again they come upside down when I preview haha think it worked this time

Ok so 295hp 350 cid it is with a auto
So started gathering parts, picked up 3 sets of correct number heads with no previous work done to them, so will see which are the nicest for starters.

Think I would consider 327/275 either stick(274) or auto(270).

Suggest you contact Gale Pinkston. He can set you up.

Not much excitement here for this combo ,Rory. Some guys have a 50 year head start on you. Just be prepared for lots of heads up runs, if you go rounds in these classes.

Adam Davis has 327 combo for sale in parts section

Ok thanks I will have a closer look at that then if you guys figure that may be a better way to go
Lol. I did realize yes probably way late to the program with this combo, just like the Camaro and wanted to do a stocker to have some fun and more personal challenges and gains on it more than anything …….but not a high maintenance one or so I thought maybe I will get bored .
Anyway I thought maybe the 350/295 being it was factored to 286 hp had some room …..?
But I think any class I look at with the car will put me in more popular classes were heads will be more common, unless I tried the 2 bbl 327 210 hp deal don’t know if there is any advantage to that .

Yeah, it's fine..Better with aftermarket heads IMO
Stick shift will keep you out of trouble, except around BG and Div. 3
Either that, or become real good at working the ladder. ;-)
Good luck

How about a 396 325 combo ? Out west ‘ Diamond ‘ Jim Meador has a D/sa Camaro that runs very strong ….
