Muscle cars the factory should have built

On the Chevrolet platform, for 1967,,,,,

Chevelle SS427 (427/425 HP, L-72)
It would have been the perfect 'Street/Strip' musclecar,
It could have forced the NHRA keep the AA/S class for 1967,,,

Impala SS427, with the 427/400 HP (L-68 Tri-Power with Oval-port heads)
Another perfect combination made for each other,,,,,

Nova SS, continuing with the 327/350 HP (L-79)
Just as everybody started to figure out what a good combination this car was in 1966,
they forgot to continue the 'pocket rocket' in 1967,,,,,,

Corvette,,,,,,396/350 HP,,,,,,LS-34 (Holley carbed, hydraulic cam and oval-port heads)
Would allow the Corvette to have a 'streetable' big-block,,,,,,,,

Camaro,,,,,,,,327/300 HP,,,,,,L-75 Corvette engine,,,,,,,, but with a twist,,,
Holley-carbed (585 CFM), hydraulic cam, but with 2.02/1.60 valved #291 cylinder heads.
10.25 - 1 pistons, and 2.5" exhaust manifolds.
The Corvette engine in a 'bare-bones', stripped down Camaro,,,,,,with no options other than a radio and heater,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, A 'cheap-priced' Junior Stocker.
