Some "Dime Rockets" for the 4TH!

[Dwight Southerland]

Although I targeted the Camaro and Firebird combinations for the late 70s Chevy 305, one of the reasons I have been "pushing" this engine for such a long time is that it is available in so many bodies during those production years. Look at full size Chevrolets, Pontiacs, Buicks, and Oldsmobiles for applications. There are even '76-'77 Chevelles and Novas that make U/SA, if that is interesting to you. Cutlasses, LeMans and a variety on mid-sized Buicks used that engine at various times. Lots of possibilities!

Billy or one of you guys will know this.

Is the 230 Chevy inline in the early (60-64) Chevy II a viable combo? If I remember correctly you could get this with a 4 sp as well as auto and 3sp.

You have to watch the early 230s as I think(I'm not looking at the guide) some have really small cams. The other big difference is the carb. 68 and up (my stuff) uses a monojet and the older stuff uses a 1g. The sizes are about the same but I have no experience with the 1g. All of the later Novas are 3 speed only but 68 and 69 Camaros could be had with 4 speeds.
