Took old motor and tranny out today. Went easy.
If it ain't a Chevy we don't mess with it. Murica. My son Vic eldenbroc bliss agrees

Nice

That's a blueprint engines 427cid sbc. I forget what they say the power is. I think it's 550 long block
-
dad is going to clean the engine bay before we put other motor in
-
How does 500 hp feel in one of those old Camaros?
I went for a ride in an old built firebird 400 and it was spooky. Drums on all 4 corners heat up to fast
-
They are light by muscle car standards.
The old 400 sbc was 450ish hp and lots of torque. With the 4speed it would spin in 3rd depending on how big the tires were
This one has front discs at least.
When it was 4 wheel drums you could only really stop once from 100+ then you'd have to let them cool or it be skechty.
Stock suspension geometry is bad and they don't brake or turn jnstock form
-
apparently he used my power washer and cleaned the engine bay up pretty well so we might put the motor in relatively soon.
hes buying a 3" mandrel header back exhaust, clutch and pressure plate, and a couple other small things. once those come we could probably start thinking about preparing to maybe put the other motor in

Added new picture to link

Love the 67-8-9 camaro.
-
Motor is in. Stopped at that point. Should be able to start it daily soon
-
added some pictures
headers didn't fit because of the raised cam in the sb427.
new ones on the way
-
added more pictures
-
Looking good, waiting on wheelie vids.
-
What year 67? Looks good. I kinda want fall to come around so I can put the outside house projects on hold and start working on the nova again.

well basically shit went down at least my old man had it insured for 50k, its totalled no doubt, i dunno if its worth "buying back" because the body has been buckled and wrinkled in spots. a new front subfame is easy but the body is not. i'm pretty sure they're going to total it. my dad wrecked it the first time he floored it went sideways locked up brakes and slide off road into a truck parked in someones yard. got a really bad concussion lots of bruises etc etc

God damn. That's something id do.
-
supposed to pass it down to me now i guess i'm screwed?
he doesnt know if he wants to get another one. he has this one for 25 years. has had a 1st gen his entire adult life
-
Damn, that's shitty. But from the picture it doesn't look to bad. Looks fixable.
-
i doubt it is, the body is wrinkled and the trans tunnel is buckled.

It's all a matter of $$.
Just like in my business. It can be fixed, how much do you want to spend.
-
they usually have problems with the unibodies itmight never be straighta gain, look crooked down the road etc... :(
-
You can build those cars out of a catalogue buy it back swap the good shit over and the vin.
-
i know that but it wont be a real SS if i used a aftermarket body :/
-
I never got to drive it with the new motor :(
The motor probably has 50 miles on it maybe less
-
Just got off the phone with adjuster they totalled it just by looking at the pictures, he's going to get me a price on a buy back next week.
I hope it's reasonable
-

It won't be a real SS if it get's crushed either.
-
They want 12500 to buy back which is ridiculous. No one could make money with it at that price
-
they came and took the car away
-
Lame dude!
-
my dad isn't going to be driving for a while most likely. he said he'd just give me his z28. i'll probably sell my cobalt and drive it around. it needs a couple things but nothing crazy
-
been a while but my dad finally felt like buying another car.
we looked at a 1970 chevelle ss454 "ls5" wanted 67k for it... car looked great but had lots of little problems and some big ones they didn't care to mention. tranny wouldn't go into reverse without grinding and i drove it and it was gutless as fuck... i asked the guy and he said the 454 was out of a 76 truck... really? the car came w/ ls5 454 but doesn't have it now, and they tried to pass it off without saying anything... idiots.
looked at a 67 chevelle and it had a great 396 motor and 5spd trans but the paint was 5/10 with tons of chips and bubbles in roof/trunk and messed up body lines big gaps etc... wanted 55k wouldn't go down in price ::)
he finally bought a 70 ss396 chevelle w/ 4spd for 50k from a museum and had it shipped.
car is pretty good but not like they said.. has some small problems and doesn't look at as good as it did in the pictures... has rear main seal leak, had a bunch of vacuum leaks, messed up choke on carb, some misc things inside that aren't working right but not bad. paid 50k and 2k to ship. we fixed a lot of the stuff already and it runs pretty good now.
this one is insured for 75k

worked on the car a little bit has some bad oil leaks, was leaking really bad out of the back of intake. did intake gaskets, has a reman quadrajet carb on it. runs really well WOT, part throttle sucks. needs tuning. its too lean.
has oil leak out of the oil pressure sender, leaks onto the headers. pretty annoying. the flapper door on the cowl induction doesnt work anymore. ordered a new one.
sure gets a lot of attention
