1967 Caprice

Jesse Knapp · 08-25-2010, 11:06 PM

Since I cannot get the NHRA website to open the classification guide, it gives me rules amendments every time, I will ask this question here. Did this model yr. car, as a 3 speed automatic, have options for smallblocks and bigblocks? I know the 67/68 camaros could only run the 3 speed with a 396. Is this true of the Caprice as well? Thanks in advance.

Either way in the caprice for the small blocks and big blocks.

They did not use a 427 425 motor in 67 fullsize chevys. Just the 427 385 motor. Im very suprised that NHRA will let u Run a 425 h.p. motor in a 67 car. Considering they only made like 11 of them in 1967.

It is interesting, esp since the guide lists the 425 HP engine in both Stock and SS in every... every combination of big cars Wagons, convertibles,Caprice, SS, Impalas, ect... But ONLY as manual tranny... Hummm!
