This is my Camaro Sport coupe page


Update:

These past few months I have been researching the car and it's numbers and it is not a 327 car like I was told. It turns out the car was sold 12/20/66 and is one of the very, very few 283 cars. The four speed is the original and the block in the car is the original one.

I got it in the summer of 1998. One of my friends own's a carpet cleaning business and found it in a guy's driveway. The guy had had it for eight years. He had it when he was in high school and had rearended a honda and it was leaking coolant so he thought it had a cracked block. So his brother offered to fix it for him but never got farther than ripping out the radiator and supports. He tried to get the intake the intake off but he had let it sit for so long the distributor got rusted together with the cam so he couldn't get the heads or intake off so he just let the water sit in it and rust it up.


So I went over to GM Sport Salvage and picked up a 327 with .194 camel back heads for one hundred bucks. It is an orignal M-21 four speed car with the protecto plate and all the original sales contracts and paper work. I did a desktop dyno on the motor and how I want to build it. The program shows that the motor with a tunnel ram that has two holley econo master 350's on it, bored .060, 12.50:1 pop-up's, fully ported and polished 2.02 heads, stainless steel crank, and a roller lifter and cam setup. With all of this which I have ready to go into the car it will put out 741 at the fly wheel.


I have been aquiring all the new sheetmetal and accessories from Jim Dyer and Classic Industries. I now have all the parts to completely finish the car. But now that I have all the parts for it. It is being put on the back burner so that I can get the pace car done in time for Hot August Nights.


Here are some Pictures of the day I brought it home. And I am sorry to say that I haven't done much with it since I cleaned it up right fter I got it by disinfecting the interior and just cleaning it up in general, except for collecting the sheet metal for it.
