Attention 1983 Camaro 263 HP competitors.

[Adger Smith]

AHFS is Sure tough on one car or low count classes.

Will a hit to the '83 305 Camaro hurt my '80 Malibu 305 combo? Or is it considered a different platform?

[Billy Nees]

Ya know M.J., not to go stirring any pots or anything but the '83 Camaro 305 HO (flat piston, big cam) that is the subject of this thread isn't an automatic only combo, it's a STICK only combo. 305/165 (F.I. combo) is auto only. Any hard-core Camaro guy would know that. But I won't tell! ;-)

Ya know, I heard that before. And 283 stockers never came with a 327 intake manifold, AND 283 Chevy ll s never came with a DEEP oil pan, and 67-68 Camaro SBC stockers never came with 3 speed trans, AND MJ has never seen a 70 nova on the street with a 350 LT-1 engine, (although some one ,some where may have,) and James Perrone has a strong dislike for 83 Camaro front bumper covers….

Yeah, just kidding since there weren't enough built.

Harrell did the same and there was a Harrell dealer just up the road - seems like they sold a couple.

Useless trivia - shortest lived Harrell car sold by them (had friends there) was a 427 Nova that was totalled about 5 miles away on the trip home.
Came back to add the obvious - F70x14 Polyglas and a L72 was a tricky situation at best.

Ya know M.J., I always did like your style!

Actually set a record with a stick shift in an automatic only combo car.
It was listed under "ALL" .. Good enough for me ;-)

[Rich Biebel]

70 Nova with an LT-1 and a 4 speed was a car I drove on the street
It belonged to a friend and I changed the engine in it when the original engine broke
It was a Yenko Deuce

Funny, I ran this combo about 20 years ago in a IHRA Pure Stocker with an automatic.

No the Camaro wont.

A 2 door Malibu could though being theyre both of the same platform.
