Motor question

Greg Reimer 7376 · 10-12-2022, 10:12 PM

1967 Camaro 350/295 horse OEM engine. Is it a small journal or a large journal? Someone I know bought one for his Camaro and that question came up. I had a pan off one of those to replace the rear main seal on an original 67 Camaro SS 350 and noticed that it had a steel crank, but didn't pay attention to what size the rod journals were. Curious mind wants to know. Thanks in advance.

It should be a large journal.

It is definitely a small journal engine. My bad I had 327 in my mind. Yes large journal.

67 350s were strange critters. But they were definitely large journal.

The 350 crank is large journal. The only small journal cranks from Chevy (that I'm aware of) were some of the 3.00" and 3.25" stroke pieces.

The only 67 Camaro 350 I ever remember building was large journal but had 11/32 rod bolts only 350 I ever ran across that way.
