1968 Camaro 350THM

Crate Camaro,If you are going to run all IHRA I would freshen the Crate Motor,It is alot easier to make run under the Index,On the flip side the 295/350,with a glide is a very consistent combo,but will not win any heads-up races. I have run this combo for years,wasnt that bad until all the Technology came around for the three speeds now it is a horrible combo,NHRA will not allow a three speed in a small block 67-68 camaro because chevy didnt put a three speed behind the small block until 69.You are allowed to run a 295 hp Motor in a 69 or 70 Camaro @ the same hp rating with a three speed.GOOD LUCK.

Monte,
Don't be so sure about not being able to win any heads up races.

If NHRA allowed you to run a three speed,how much do you think you would pick up?

See you at Indy.

It appears as though Chevrolet did put some THM 350's in some test fleet 68 camaros, so says CRG. Whether NHRA will acknoledge this, I haven't a clue.
